1. Objective:
1. In this competition, the team will use a LEGO/Arduino-based robot within the specified
dimensions that can be operated manually.
2. The robot that completes the specified task in the least time will be the winner.
2. Robot Specifications:
1. The maximum dimensions of the robot can be 25 cm x 25 cm x 25 cm (l x b x h).
2. The robot must be operated through Bluetooth.
3. A DC supply up to 12V can be used.
4. The maximum weight must not exceed 1 kg.
5. The machine must be powered electrically only.
6. The use of an IC engine is not allowed.
7. Batteries must be sealed, immobilized electrolyte type (gel cell, lithium, NiCad,
or dry cells).
3. General Rules:
● The team should not consist of more than 3 members.
● Unethical behavior could lead to disqualification. Faculty coordinators have all
the rights to make the final decision on any matter during the event.
● The decision of the judges will be final and binding. Arguments with judges in
any form will lead to the disqualification of the team.
● The robot should be as per the given specifications.
● The robot should not damage the arena.
● A 90-second test practice will be allowed on the arena before the final run.
● The robot must not leave behind any of its parts during the run; otherwise, it will
result in disqualification.
4. Track Specification:
● The track surface and course line may have unevenness.
● There will be certain obstacles on the race track that will try to slow down the
robot.
● The arena will consist of a curved path, speed breakers, etc.
5. Game Rule:
● The competition is based on a time trial system. There will be a qualifying round for
each team.
● The top 2 teams from the qualifying round make it to the final round based on time
trials.
● Wires should remain slack during the course of the run. Pulling the wire to aid the robot
in traversing may lead to disqualification.
● If any of the robots start off before the start-up call, the counter would be restarted,
and the machines will get a second chance. If repeated again, the team will be
disqualified.
● If the Robot crosses a checkpoint and moves off track, then the Robot would be placed
back on the previous checkpoint crossed with a penalty.
● If the robot by any chance falls from the bridge, the robot will be kept back to the
previous checkpoint crossed with a penalty.
● Your robot must be ready when the call is made for your team.
● Team members will be allowed only one time to touch or reset their robot's position
during the run. However, this will lead to a time penalty, and the timer will not stop
during this course of action.
● The robot will be judged based on (in priority):
a. Time to complete the track. b. Number of checkpoints cleared.
● The machine must not contain any pneumatic & hydraulic systems, IC engines.
● The decision about your robot will be taken by the organizers.
● No team will get a second chance after completing the track with a poor score.
● The structure of the robot should not be changed during the competition.
