Robot Classes
To keep matches fair robots compete against robots that are in a similar "class". This is most commonly defined by the weight allowed for the robot but there are other things like weapon-type or robot-construction that determine classes. If you are thinking of building a robot you should find out what classes are allowed in your local event. Be aware that the weight allowed for "Antweight and Beetleweight" robots differs across events so be sure to know what you are allowed to do before you build your robot. Also be aware that some robot classes are very popular while others are very rare, so before you build a 6lb Mantis weight robot be sure that your local event runs that weight class.
Weight Classes
These weight classes are primarily determined by the maximum weight allowed for the robot. Some rules also have size restrictions so be sure to read the rules for your local event.
| Class | SPARC | FRA | Special |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fleaweight | 75g | -- | -- |
| Fairyweight | 150g | -- | -- |
| Antweight | 1lb | 150g | -- |
| Beetleweight | 3lb | 1.4kg | -- |
| Mantisweight | 6lb | -- | -- |
| Dodgeweight | 15lb | -- | National Robotics League |
| Featherweight | 30lb | 30lb | -- |
| Lightweight | 60lb | -- | -- |
| Middleweight | 120lb | -- | -- |
| Heavyweight | 220lb | -- | -- |
| TV-Heavyweight | -- | -- | [Battlebots] |
Weapon Restricted Classes
These robot classes align with an existing weight class but have further restrictions on what weapons can be used as well as other possible restrictions on things like using ground-scraping wedges. Please read your event's rules to understand the restrictions.
- 150g (Non-destructive)
- 12lb (Tabletop)
- 30lb (Sportsman)
- 30lb (Tabletop)
- 60lb (Sportsman)
Construction Restricted Classes
In an effort to make robot building more accessible the plastic antweight class was started by Western Allied Robotics. These robots are primarily 3d printed but can be fabricated out of approved plastics. The robot class became popular and the rules were adopted by Sparc.tools.
