A "Gentleman's Agreement" refers to an implicit pact among roboteers. It states that when one robot is immobilised or cannot continue, the other will refrain from attacking it, thus preventing unnecessary damage, and minimising the time and labour required to get the losing robot back into fighting shape. The term itself was coined by Ian Lewis of Team Razer after Razer's Series 4 fight with Pussycat, but there were several occurrences of the Gentleman's Agreement before then.

  • A "Gentleman's Agreement" refers to an implicit pact among roboteers. It states that when one robot is immobilised or cannot continue, the other will refrain from attacking it, thus preventing unnecessary damage, and minimising the time and labour required to get the losing robot back into fighting shape. The term itself was coined by Ian Lewis of Team Razer after Razer's Series 4 fight with Pussycat, but there were several occurrences of the Gentleman's Agreement before then. On rare occasions, teams will agree to waive the Gentleman's Agreement, and go all-out in the arena. Most notably the Hypno-Disc team, who were good friends with several of their opponents, were given a free pass from robots like Robogeddon. In recent years, several robotic competitions have added a Gentleman's Agreement clause to their official rules. In such competitions the judges will penalise, or even disqualify a robot if it continues to damage an incapacitated opponent.
