This document outlines the rules and guidelines for a line following robot competition. Robots must autonomously follow a 1.5-2.5 cm wide white line on a 180cm x 275cm black surface from a starting point to the finish in the shortest time possible. Teams of up to 3 students must submit specifications of their robot including dimensions, weight, components and previous experience. Robots are limited to 25cm x 25cm, 900g and must use sealed 12V batteries. The competition aims to test robots' speed, perception and ability to accurately follow a line from start to end.

F. Game Rules:
● Course Time: Time is measured from the time the robot crosses the
starting line until the time it crosses the finish line. A robot is deemed
to have crossed the line when the forward most wheel, track, or leg
of the robot contacts or crosses over the line.
● Time Limit: A maximum of 3 minutes is allowed for a robot to
complete the course. A robot that cannot complete the course in the
allotted time shall be disqualified.
● Timekeeping: Time shall be measured by an electronic gate system
or by a jury with a stopwatch, based on the availability of equipment.
In either case the recorded time shall be final.
● Course Rules: Every line follower robot must pass the course at least
1 time and at most 3 times. Referee must choose the best result. A
robot that wanders off the arena surface will lose one attempt. A
robot shall be deemed to have left the arena when any wheel, leg, or
track has moved completely off the arena surface.
● Losing the Line: Any robot that loses the line course (but not
wanders off the arena surface) must reacquire the line at the point
where it was lost, or at any earlier point. Otherwise, the robot will
lose one attempt.
