The following is the behavioural standard which Merseyside Robot Fighting will follow.
We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the sport of roboteering. The behaviour of all roboteers has an impact, directly and indirectly, on the reputation of the sport and of everyone involved in the sport – both in and out of the arena. Should an incident occur at an event, it is the Event Organiser's responsibility to carry out any investigation and take any action deemed by them to be necessary. Should an incident be brought to the attention of the FRA, it may be investigated separately, including the examination of all relevant documents and where appropriate information from witnesses both orally and by written statements.
Examples of misconduct include but are not restricted to:
- Theft or fraud.
- Dishonesty towards MRF or its members.
- Physical or verbal abuse or bullying.
- Deliberate damage to property.
- Misuse of an organisation’s or individual's property or name.
- Deliberate discrimination or harassment, this includes but is not limited to: racism, homophobia or biphobia, transphobia. MRF hold a zero tolerance approach to harassment or discrimination to its members.
- Bringing Merseyside Robot Fighting or the sport of roboteering into disrepute.
- Serious incapability at an event brought on by alcohol or drugs.
- Causing loss, damage or injury through serious negligence or neglect.
- Premeditated operation/function of equipment/combat robot designed to be unsportsmanlike or rule breaking.
- A serious breach of FRA or MRF event rules.
For Build Rules, we mostly follow the FRA Build Rules. Please click here to view the Ruleset. The below rules are in place at MRF events.
We have our own Competition Rules which are derived from the FRA Competition Rules. This document outlines key differences set out in the above ruleset and the rules standard for all aspects of our competitions. This can be viewed by clicking here.
