Grade CCandidate

Public team disclosures or accredited journalism reports pending independent page-level scrutineering validation.

Scrutineering Safety & Calibration Procedures

Before stepping onto any official competition track, every robot platform undergoes mandatory technical scrutineering:

  • Weigh-In Certification: Calibrated on Mettler Toledo industrial scales to enforce strict weight-class limits.
  • E-Stop Latency Test: Wireless hardware kill-switch actuation verified under 50 milliseconds.
  • High-Voltage Isolation: UN 38.3 battery circuit protection and thermal containment approval.
