Rule set

  This event will comply with the 2005 RFL Extensible Techical Regulations.  This rule set has been adapted for this compition per RFL guid lines.  Read completely before registering a robot.


Registration

  All registration will be handled via Builder's database.   If your team is not registered, please do so.  It is quick, easy, and free.

  The Buider's DB is current down due to hurricane damage.  The site data is secure, and the admin, and his family are well.   However, there is no way to determine when this site will be fully functional again.  Therefore, registrational will have to be done manually.  Send the following information to ohiorobotclub@yahoo.com

   Now that the Builder's Database is back up and running stablily registration via the BDB has been reinstated.  Big thankyou to Marc for bring the BDB back so quickly after this tradigy.

If you have any minors on your team please designate a primary gardian, and that person's relation to the minor.

You will need to fill out ORC Safety Form for each robot attending.  You will also need to fill out one Release Form for ever team member requiring a pit pass.  Please limit pit passes to only those who actually need to be in the pits.  Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by the parent or guardian who signed the release form.  Fill out all forms and bring them with you to the event.  Do not mail in forms!

  Registrations fees will be $5 per bot (tentative)..
