Race rules

The objective is to complete the marked course in the shortest adjusted time.
Every obstacle and checkpoint must be completed in the specified order.
Timing starts on the referee's signal and stops when the entire bot crosses the finish line.
Shortcuts and deliberate bypassing of obstacles are prohibited.
If a bot leaves the track or becomes stuck, only the referee may authorise a reset.
Resets must return the bot to the designated checkpoint and attract the published penalty.
Final time = completion time + time penalties.
A run that does not finish within the announced time limit is recorded as incomplete.
Attempt limits, reset penalties, track details and tie-breaking procedures will be published before the competition.

SRC rental bots

Teams must return bots and controllers after their allotted match or run.
Repairs and adjustments may be carried out only by SRC organisers.
Suspected equipment faults must be reported immediately.
The referee will decide whether a verified equipment fault warrants a pause, restart or replacement.
Rental allocation, practice time and any damage charges must be communicated before payment.

Weight includes the battery, attachments and every component carried by the bot.

Flames, projectiles, explosives, sharp weapons and devices intended to damage other bots or the arena are prohibited.
Participants must follow the referee's start and stop instructions.
Only the designated operator may control the bot during a run or match.
