KILLSWITCH October ’25 Builder’s Challenge

Did you fight in the Fall Market Battle and crave MORE?!? Or perhaps you didn’t participate but saw how much fun it was and wished you were in Thunderdome with us??? Either way, now’s your chance!!!
Let’s have a smaller, more informal match later this month. This will be a pick-up style contest where we run a double elimination bracket, referee ourselves, have no active arena hazards, and generally have a more relaxed pace. We’ll start at 12 noon and run until we’re done, likely 3-4pm depending on entries.
- Cardboard class only, double elimination.
- Same ruleset as the Market Battle. We’re considering some changes but we’ll build and fight to our current KILLSWITCH Cardboard rules until those have been discussed and any updates implemented.
- This will be a BYOH (Bring Your Own Hardware) match, there will be no shop hardware in play for this competition.
- This event is open to any builder regardless of whether they participated in the Fall Market Battle or not.
- There will be no formal build classes prior to this event but ample informal assistance & guidance will be available, just reach out in the KILLSWITCH Channel!
- This event will require a minimum of 6 entries and the entry cutoff date to RSVP will be one week prior to the event. This does not mean your bot must be ready a week in advance, only that you’re committed to having an entry ready by the event date. If we’re not at our minimum by the cutoff we’ll scrap the meet and try again at a later date.
- Brackets will be set the day before the event. Competitors will be expected to provide a bot name and confirm their readiness to fight by 5pm the day before the event.
- First match at high noon, competitors will need to be ready to go by then!
Spectators are welcome but this will be a builder centric event!! There will be no announcing or hazards and Thunderdome will be set up in a minimal configuration.
*** Only builders/participants need to RSVP. Please do not RSVP if you are a spectator. ***
