1) The sponsorship is available only to experienced teams that have competed in a previous RFL event.
2) The robots must represent a serious attempt to make a competitive machine and must pass all RFL technical and safety regulations.
3) Teams may construct and enter as many robots as they wish (no limit to the number of robots per team).
4) Robots must be entered in one of the following events Combots Cup, RoboGames, Triangle City Mechwars 10 or WBX -IV. Details on how to enter those events and their dates can be found at the builders's database.
5) Robots must be new. They can either be a total rebuild of an old robot or a complete new design. This sponsorship does not cover existing robots that have previously competed at an event. One exception is that for a Super Heavy Weight, the robot may be composed as a "multi-bot" made up partially or completely from existing bots. This rule only applies to Super Heavy Weight robots.
6) Teams are encouraged to announce their intention to claim a sponsorship by posting their intention to do so to the RFL forum under the "Big Bot Sponsorship" thread. Additionaly, teams are encouraged to report on their build status under the "progress reports" thread.
7) Teams will be paid via check or PayPal one week following their first event. In order to be paid, teams must send us their team name, robot name, robot weight class and event that they are first competing at along with either their shipping address or PayPal account information.
8) We reserve the right to list all sponsored robots on this and other sights to help promote the sport of robot combat. There are no other strings attached.
9) Each Heavyweight robot that qualifies will receive $400 and each Super heavyweight robot that qualifies will receive $600.
10) In addition, there is a special $400 cash sponsorship pool that will be divided evenly among all sponsored robots that compete at Triangle City MechWars 10 (eg., if 4 new heavyweight robots qualify at any of the events and also fight at Triangle City MechWars 10 then they will each receive the standard $400 sponsorship plus an addition (400/4)=$100 bonus sponsorship.) This special payout will be paid one week following Triangle City MechWars 10. |
