9m is the metric equivalent of the distance they have used in the US for many, many years. We will start with this and if it needs changing will do so. It is the audience distance, not the driver distance. Have a look at this highlights video from Dragoncon.


It's a moot point at present as the Robodojo competition will be held in the Robodojo FW arena. The 9m rule is to cover possible future events in an open arena.
