Autobots, Roll Out !!! At the end of this day, one shall stand...one shall fall...

- Optimus Prime [Transformers]

        The Blood....the sweat.... the destruction..... the glory.... 

        Flying blades, violent motors, the thrashing sound of metal and a junk pile of annihilated machines. It’s the realization of the Roman royal experience, indulging the mechanical gladiators into ripping off every nut and bolt of the rival and cutting it into pieces. 

        Beat the thrill and be ready for the kill. Dripped in blood but glory still within sight you can come and conquer might and finally come out of the cell as the ultimate catch. 

1.1 The participants will be instructed about the competition structure at a later date after the deadline for application submission so that the final number of teams will be known and thus an adequate competition structure can be devised.

1.3 The initial robot pairing will be done by a randomized transparent ballot in front of the audience on competition day. Following each duel, the table league will be updated accordingly. The Group tournament will end after each robot has fought a specified amount of battles (or beforehand in the event that fewer robots from the competition remain in a functioning state). In either case, the top robots in the league table will then enter a finalist’s tournament for the semi-finals and eventually the top 2 for the final battle.

1.4 In the case that there are two (2) robots occupying the third (3rd) place of the leader board by the end of the tournament, a direct elimination battle of three (3) minutes will take place. If due to timing constrains the battle cannot be held, the decision of who will pass to the next stage of the tournament will be done by the judges in accordance with Section 1.4.3 (ii) taking into consideration all the duels.

1.5 It must be made clear that no competitor will be allowed to touch/modify the respective robot until the end of the duel. The winning robot will be allocated 3 points, whilst the loosing robot will be allocated 0 points. In the scenario of a Time Elapse as mentioned in Section 1.4.3, the winning robot will be allocated 2 points, whilst the losing robot will be allocated 1 point. These points will be utilized to sort out the league table.
