Perks and coins

Perks and coins

Perks are special powers that teams can use to gain strategic advantages during a tournament. They don’t alter the bot’s code or gameplay but instead affect how matches are scheduled, revealed, or counted. By using them wisely, teams can protect themselves and surprise opponents.

Important:

Perks cannot be used in official games
They do not override Freeze Period rules
They cannot be transferred or purchased
They cannot (and never will) affect the game rules!

Coins are our internal currency. For now, just collect as many as you can.Starting in 2026, you’ll be able to exchange them for perks.

How to earn perks and coins?

Teams can earn perks in several ways:

Winning Challenges

Every time a bot challenges another, the system randomly selects a perk based on its odds. If no perk is chosen, the winner receives coins instead.

Contributing to the Community

Lugo Bots is a collaborative project, and we value contributions. Whether it’s testing tools, fixing bugs, or helping spread the word about the tournament, active contributors may receive perks as recognition. We regularly publish tasks in our Discord channel, along with the type and amount of perks that will be awarded. So be sure to join and stay tuned!

Tournament Prizes

Some perks are awarded directly as part of the tournament prizes.

Special Recognition

From time to time, teams that make a remarkable impact on the Lugo Bots community may be rewarded with perks. There are no strict rules for this—it's our way of celebrating extraordinary effort and support.
