Size

what are the size restrictions for a HW?

Officially, I think its 2 by 1.2 metres.

Practically, I dont think anyone will stop you if you go over, if its a finished and ready robot, but there are practical limits as well due to the arena doors and the fact that you have to carry the thing.

Make sure your design fits into your car/van or whatever you have. Like Joey said the bigger it is the harder it is to move and carry.

Remember the weight limit Ben.

Weight soon creeps up when building a bot.... NEVER rely on bathroom scales.

Officially (according to FRA Build Rules) there is no size limit.

The sizes mentioned above is a throwback to Mentorns rules for RW so that robots would fit into the arena pit but were never adopted by the FRA in their rules.

The way Saint is now it surely is in the rules. But as karoline pointed out those restrictions applied to mentorn rules, not FRA.
