ARC League

Game design

Classes, arena, armor, and a readable summary of how matches work. The authoritative scoring text lives in the full rules.

Small-sized class

<1.2 m · <40 kg

Compact platforms tuned for agility and tight control—fast footwork, quick exchanges, and scrappy close-range play.

Mid-sized class

1.2-1.5 m · 40-60 kg

The balanced bracket: enough reach and mass for decisive strikes while staying mobile enough to run full match pace.

Full-sized class

>1.5 m · 60 kg+

Maximum scale and presence—long reach, heavy hits, and arena-filling movement define the full-sized matchup.

Gameplay

Standard Hit-detection Armor

Custom robot armor with embedded sensors that detect valid hits and calculate scoring across three distinct hit zones.

Full pilot rules: Rules.

Head

Critical Damage ·

Direct hits to the cranial sensor array deal maximum damage. Precision targeting of the head module is rewarded with critical scoring multipliers.

Chest

Damage ·

Center-mass strikes to the torso plating register standard damage. The primary target zone with the widest sensor surface area.

Abdomen

Damage ·

Lower torso impacts score standard damage. A secondary zone that rewards varied attack angles and low-line fighting strategies.

Standard hit-detection armor: head guard and chest protector with sensor zone markings

Gameplay

Arena

A dual-ring stage: a fenced central volume for the robots and an outer pilot ring for pilots—aligned for intuitive telepresence.

01 — Arena

The Central Arena

An enclosed circular platform with a 1.5-meter radius where robotic avatars operate and compete.

02 — Arena

The Pilot Ring

A 2-meter-wide outer track surrounding the arena, giving pilots the physical space they need to move and swing.

03 — Arena

Synchronized Alignment

Pilots face the same direction as their robots, ensuring intuitive 1:1 spatial awareness during operation.

Dual-ring arena: central robot competition volume surrounded by an outer pilot ring

The dual-ring arena physically isolates the combat zone without breaking the pilot's spatial connection to their avatar.
