Safety
The intention is that teams base their robots on Lego Mindstorms NXT series robotic kits, but additional parts, components and materials may be incorporated. This; however, is subject to an overarching need to maintain safety. The Robotics Challenge organisers maintain the right to exclude any robot from the competition if, in their opinion, the robot is judged to be unsafe or is no longer distinguishable as a Lego mindstorm NXT series robotic kit.
