Overview:

Biped has accidentally lost his way in the forest. Unbeknownst to Biped, Velociraptors lurk in the shadows. Biped must flee to the safe haven before the raptors get him. Better pick up a weapon and protect yourself! All robots shall navigate through terrain of the arena.

Rules:

  • Robots start at designated starting zones
  • If Biped makes it to the safe-haven zone, Biped wins
  • If Velociraptors make contact (touch) with Biped or Biped does not reach the safe-haven zone, Velociraptors win
  • Goliath shall only follow Biped
  • Biped can use a sensor to sense a weapon on a space that is 4inx4in. Biped will actuate (something obvious to the Velociraptor teams) that they currently possess a weapon. They remain invincible for 5 minutes. If a Velociraptor touches the Biped while it is invincible, they are given a yellow card. If they do this a second time, they are given a red card and will be removed from game by IA or Professor
  • Time Limit of 60 minutes
  • If a robot falls down during the game due to terrain, they are considered out and will be removed from game by IA or Professor
  • If Goliath accidentally bumps into any of the robots and knocks them down, that robot is removed from game by IA or Professor
