How many bots can be on a team, and can I mix different machines?

Making a team

1. Go to League › My teams (signed out, the tile is Join the league). Or click New team under Teams in Brain code.
2. Name your team and click Create team. Other players see the name, and you can rename it later.
3. Tick the bots to put in it, or click Build and add next to one of your designs to build a new bot straight into the team. Click Done.

Bots are built from designs, so design your machines in the Factory first. A team holds only your own bots, and each bot can be in it once. You can keep up to 100 teams.

Mixing machines

There's no rule that a team's bots must match. A fast wheeled scout, a tough tracked tank and a drone can all be on one team. Each bot runs whatever program you load into it in Brain code, and different bots can even be coded in different languages.

Size and weight in tournaments

• A team can enter a tournament with 1 to 12 bots.
• Each tournament is in a weight class, for example 300–399 kg. Your team's bots together must weigh within it.
• So there's a trade-off: more bots means lighter bots, and fewer bots can each be heavier. When you click Enter a team, only your teams in that tournament's class are listed, with their weight.

The ladder is different

The ladder doesn't take teams. It takes the one bot you submit from Brain code, and plays it as two copies of that machine and program on each side.

Bots that work together

Every team has a Notepad: one text, up to 1,024 characters, that all the team's bots can read and write during a match. What they leave there is kept for the next match, and you can read and edit it from My teams.

Each team also has a Profile that visitors see on tournament pages: a description, pictures, and who built and coded each bot.
