Mission Objective Design and build robot(s), which can entertain the homo-sapiens Team Specification: A team may consist of a maximum of 4 members. Students from different educational institutes admitted in undergraduate program can form a team. Event Structure The event would be organised in two stages prelims and finals .There would time restriction for both rounds. Only selected teams from prelims are allowed to participate in the final round. Arena Dimensions of the arena would be 4000mm*2500mm. Event Rules

No restrictions on number of bots and additional objects Voltage rating of any component should not exceed 24 volts. A team would be disqualified if any part being used is found potentially dangerous. Max 5 mins would be provided to participants for setting up the arena. In case if a robot stops working or power supply gets disconnected, then maximum 2 interventions would be allowed to rectify the problem(maximum time of such interventions should not exceed 1 minute otherwise the time would counted under participation time) or a single restart is possible. Teams have to bring their own music track. While performing no team member is allowed to enter arena, unless there is a problem with the robot (as mentioned above).

In any case, the judges decision would be final.

Prelims round

Would be 2 minutes round The time starts after the team gets ready with the setup and the robot. Teams can present a part of their setup, that is all robots additional components (if any) may or may not perform. It is basically an elimination round to select suitable teams and so your innovation, creativity, sensibility would be judging criteria. No part of the robot should go out of the arena during the performance.

Finals

Max time limit is 5 mins. Here your final presentation matters a lot. Key grading areas would be: o Innovation o Designing of robot(its compactness and quality of work done) o Fluency( flow of performance without any unexpected hang-ups) o Level of usage of additional tools(if any) (we expect a proper utilization of any such component used) o Presentation

General Rules

The team can have a maximum of 4 members. Robot can be of any size but it should fit within the arena. Any team that is not ready at the time specified will be scratched from the competition automatically. The machine will be checked for its safety before the race and will be discarded if found unsafe for other participants and spectators. Judges decision shall be treated as final and binding on all. The organizers reserve the rights to change any or all of the above rules as they deem fit. Change in rules, if any will be highlighted on the website and notified to the registered participants.

The robot(s) can be manual and/or autonomous. There is no restriction on size and weight of robot (however it must fix within arena). It can be wired or wireless. Inter communication between robots is allowed. The bot should not damage the arena or perform dangerous tasks in any manner. Use of Lego kits is strictly prohibited. On board power or external power supplies are allowed, with a restriction that voltage rating should not exceed 24 volts.

Additional objects

These are supposed to be used by robot (which would not be a part of robot) for performing various tasks and stunts. All such objects are supposed to be placed in arena before start of round. Hence plan your setup as per arenas limit. No restrictions on size and weight. No restrictions on number of such objects used. Under no conditions, any harmful or a dangerous object shall be permitted. In case the object(s) gets displaced/fall down (without robots intervention), then it can be replaced/rectified by a team member. However time count wont be stopped.

*If there would be any minor changes in the rules it would be highlighted on the website. Do visit this website regularly for the latest updates.
