Esta informação parece estar no artigo do BattleBots da Wikipedia . De acordo com o artigo, parece que apenas o peso do bot é importante:
Robots at BattleBots tournaments were separated into four weight classes. The weight limits increased slightly over time. At the final tournaments the classes were:
- Lightweight – 60 pounds (27 kilograms)
- Middleweight – 120 pounds (54 kilograms)
- Heavyweight – 220 pounds (100 kilograms)
- Superheavyweight – 340 pounds (154 kilograms)
Além disso, certos tipos de robôs tinham "bônus" que lhes permitiam entrar em classes de menor peso.
'Walking' robots ('StompBots') propelled by means other than wheels were initially given a 50% weight bonus. The rules changed following the victory of a heavyweight StompBot (Son of Whyachi) at BattleBots 3.0. For BattleBots 4.0 and beyond only a 20% weight bonus was given to walkers and the technical rules specified that walking mechanisms not use cam operated walking mechanisms as they were functionally too similar to wheel operation. Since the rules change, walking robots have entered the competition, but none has achieved any success beyond preliminary rounds.
O oficial site do BattleBots parece ter passado por uma mudança recente, então nenhuma das páginas de regras oficiais parece estar acessível e o atual "< A página "href=" http://battlebots.com/rules/ "> " não possui informações reais.
