What are the specifications and build guide lines of an Beetle weight arena?

This is intended for use in a university so I was guessing something like 1/2 to 1 polycarb walls and roof with metal, probably steel, floor.

This really depends if you intend on running spinning weaponry. Have a look at the Robotic Event Safety document in the rules and safety section of the website. Specifically class 2F and class 3F arenas.

Yes, we have been going through that document with our head of safety at uni trying to work out what is viable and how it would fit within the universities insurance.
The initial thought was to make it a full Class 1 Arena just for beetles and Ants. It seemed silly not to go all out especially if this weight class doesn't currently have a proper arena. (I am going by the beetle weight forum posts)

I have been putting a draft document together that covers beetleweight arena specifications however never finished it as there has not been a particularly high level of interest. I'll polish this up over the next week and get it over to you.

Thanks

If I can get this inter-uni competition off the ground there should be an big uptake in the beetle weight class.

From the Competition Regulations:

Control
Where a driver demonstrates a good level of precision in his driving, for instance an attack is started on an opponent who tries to veer away but the attack is taken to full contract, or conversely, an attack by a robot is attempted but due to good avoidance by its opponent the attack fails.
