reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed

You will notice that your BattleBot controller also features a TURBO button
and a SPIN button. We recommend these buttons for expert drivers only
but feel free to experiment and try it out!
V. IMPACT SENSORS
You may have noticed by now the red light on top of your BattleBot. This is
your damage meter.
When the light is fully lit, your Bot is operating at 100% efficiency.
If the light is flashing, your Bot has taken virtual damage and is in danger
of a catastrophic shut-down!
If the light goes out, your Bot has been disabled. Your controller will not
work until you reset your Bot using the on/off switch. Turn the Bot off and
back on again and you can continue playing.
The impact sensor is specially designed to register flips and hits from the
sides, but NOT hits from the front or rear. What does that mean? It means if
you can ram the front of your Bot into the side of your opponent, he will take
a hit but YOU will not!
VI. SPECIAL FEATURE
MULTI-BAND
CONTROLLERS
Your Custom Series BattleBot includes a special feature to change the code
on your Bot and controller. You will need to do this if you and a friend both
want to use the same Bot, for example, or if you would like to have a Robot
Rumble with up to 6 competitors (3 competitors per operating frequency-
27MHz and 49MHz).
To use this feature, make sure that all Bots are set to a different channel.
This is a good hit!
Be careful, though! There is always a chance your Bot will take damage from
any collision. Its even possible to damage your own Bot from rough driving!
Many a BattleBots champion has been taken out by old-fashioned bad luck!
VII. HOLDING A BATTLEBOTS COMPETITION
If you and a friend both have a Custom Series BattleBot (sold separately) you
can compete head to head. Here are the basic rules:
You will need two competitors and at least one Judge.
You will need a flat surface for your playing arena. For Custom Series
BattleBots, an area of at least 5 feet by 5 feet is best.
The Judge will need a stopwatch or a clock to time the match.
Place the two Bots about 5 feet apart, facing each other, and turn them on.
Turn on your controllers but do not start fightingyet!
The Judge will officially start the match (and the clock) and both players
can begin battling.
The match lasts for 3 minutes or until one Bot is disabled
whichever comes first.
The first Bot to be disabled loses the match. If 3 minutes pass and both
Bots are still moving, the Judge must award points and make a decision.
Points are awarded as follows:
AGGRESSION. The Judge has 5 points to award for aggressiveness. If Bot A
moves towards Bot B, and Bot B constantly runs away, the Judge should
award the aggression points to the Bot A. The Judge can split the points as
he sees fit3 points to one Bot and 2 points to the other.
STRATEGY. The Judge has 5 points to award for strategy. He can split the
points between the two Bots.
