Event Format

September will be a 1 day event format, like normal. So be prepared for a long day!

Social

Upon Arrival

  • Check in with the event staff and get your badge and make sure they know you are here
  • Setup at your pit. All pits are first come, first serve
  • Pass Safety. We will check your weapon lock and verify your radio failsafe.
  • Get your bot's picture taken. We cannot start the event without a picture for every bot.
  • Join the discord for day of event updates
  • Double check the rules.
    • If your bot does well towards the end of the day, you must be ready to fight after a minimum of 20 minutes
    • NHRL includes an audience-triggered Encore that can add 30 seconds to the fight. These usually only happen towards the back half of the day
  • If you have time, create or update the wiki page for your bot. You can view the pages in the 3lb Category.

COVID Regulations

We will be following the latest guidance from the state of CT. Currently there are no capacity or distancing restrictions for an event like this. CT currently has one of the highest vaccination rates and lowest COVID rates in the country.

  • As of August 13, masks are required at all times when inside regardless of vaccination status, per the City of Norwalk.
  • If possible, get vaccinated. It's just a good idea in general.
