AWS 3

**AWS 3** was the third Antweight World Series to have taken place. It marked the first time the number of entries exceeded six robots and the competition was held at Gilford University.

As of 2020, footage and images of the event no longer exist as they were not backed up.

## Format

A new format was introduced for this competition which was based on the regular format of any robot combat competition. There would be a set of round 1 melees which would have two winners from each battle progressing to round 2, the losers would fight it out in a loser's melee but winners do not come back into the competition. The second round goes into head to heads with the final four winners, progressing to the final round. There is a second loser's melee after the second round with two winners selected. In the final, the two winners fight it out for the championship while the two losers fight it out for the Third Place.

After the main competition there were a range of side competitions such as melee, an overweight fight, tag team and team battle.
