Builder Resources

Want to come fight at NHRL? NHRL is open to competitors of any experience level!

There is a $25 deposit for each bot you register. As long as you check in for the event, you'll get your deposit back a few business days later. Keep in mind that there are no caps on the number of bots at NHRL events, so don't worry about rushing to sign up! Signups will close 2 weeks before the event.
