EnigmaTek 1.0

EnigmaTek is one of the leading manufacturers in combat robot parts, producing top quality ESC’s, Motors and even custom CNC bot parts. The company makes an annual profit of $100 Million. As a Tax evasion technique, EnigmaTek has decided to spend some money into a Robotic Combat Competition. Reducing there Tax while increasing their sales (From all the damaged robots in the battles!)

An email arrives in your inbox, it reads:

‘You have been officially invited to represent your local region (City/Town/Suburb) in the first EnigmaTek Qualifiers, where you have the chance to prove yourself to earn a place in the top 8 robots that will enter the EnigmaTek 1.0!Winning the EnigmaTek 1.0 competition pays a $1million cash prize! Take your chances against the best and enter TODAY!’

You quickly race to the shed after reading the email, pulling the covers off your pride and joy sitting on the work bench; you lift the covers off and give it a last minute check over before loading all your tools and parts into your car. Your destination, EnigmaTek!

You arrive to find many other roboteers racing around a crowded pit bay. An official walks up to you and says:

‘Competitor are we? You better fill out this form and look over these rules’ He gives you a form to fill out and hands you a thick rule book.

You then open up the rule book to make sure your robot complies with the rules for the 100th time since building it.
