1. DEATH-RACE

Participant has to make the robot which can cross all the hurdles in the path to
complete the task. The death-race will have participants bring their wired /
wireless rob car, to race against others. However, this race will be conceptually
a bit different than the usual races, where it is only one car at a time it would a
race against time.

RULES:
• Each team has minimum 1 and maximum 4 members.
• The robot has to start from the START line.
• There are no restrictions about the material to be used.
• The source of energy should be in the form of batteries.
• No other source of energy is allowed.
• The robot, if requires hand touch, will be placed on the previous check
point and will be penalized for 5 seconds.
The dimensions of the robot must not exceed 45 cm x 45 cm (L x b)
• If all the four tyres of a robot go off track, they have to begin from the last
checkpoint.
• If the robot goes in No Entry Zone, the team will be penalized for 5
seconds
• Use of IC ENGINES or COMPRESSOR is not allowed.
• The maximum length of the wire should be 5 meter.
• The Voltage at any point on the electrical connections should not exceed
24 V DC.
• The organizer’s decision regarding interpretation of rules or any other
matter related to competition will be final. If there is any situation not
contemplated in the rules, In case of any discrepancies the decision of
the organizing committee shall be final.

2. ROBO BOWLING
For humans, bowling is a game that requires much practice and a certain level
of skill, but for a robot, many of the variables surrounding bowling can be
eliminated. Challenge yourself to build and drive a robot that can accurately
bowl 3 frames. Each team has to come with their own robo based on given
specification only.

RULES:

• Each team has minimum 1 and max 4 members.

• The size of robot must be within 45 x 45 cm (Length x Width)
• There will 10 no. of pins (bottle).
• A total of 3 attempts will be provided.
• The maximum diameter of ball would be 7 CM.
• The length of the path will 2 meters.
• If the robo crosses the start line then penalty would be considered.
• A team that is not ready at the venue, on specified time would be
disqualified.
• Use of IC ENGINES or COMPRESSOR is not allowed.
• The maximum length of the wire should be 5 meter.
• The organizer’s decision regarding interpretation of rules or any other
matter related to competition will be final. If there is any situation not
contemplated in the rules, In case of any discrepancies the decision of the
organizing committee shall be final.
• The Voltage at any point on the electrical connections should not exceed
24 V DC.
3. ROBO TUG OF WAR
Participant will have to design and build a robot that can pull another robot
when connected with a rope in a tug of war contest across a center line. Each
team has to come with their own robo based on the given specification.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

• Each team has minimum 1 and max 4 members.

• Robots begin approximately 30 cm from the centerline (approx. 60 cm apart).
• The tow-string should have slack (not tight) and should be centered.
• The string must be 60 cm long, with a mark at its midpoint.
• If any part of a robot crosses the centerline, that robot loses that round.
• After being triggered, a robot must start immediately.
• If, after 30 seconds, no robot has crossed the centerline, the round is to be
considered a draw.
• A robot must win 3 out of 5 trials.
• In the case of a draw, where neither robot is successful in pulling the other
across the line, the winners determined by holding a tie-breaking round. In this
round, the winner is determined by measuring distance of each robot from the
centerline at the end of the time limit. The robot closest to the line loses.
• Competitors and spectators may not touch robots, the arena, or
otherwise interfere during the match.
• The size of robot must be within 45 x 45 cm (Length x Width)
• Use of IC ENGINES or COMPRESSOR is not allowed.
• The maximum length of the wire should be 5 meter.
• The weight limit of the robot for this competition is 10 Kg
• The Voltage at any point on the electrical connections should not exceed 24 V
DC.
• Final decision will be on the organizer
4. ROBO – SOCCER
Each team has to come with their own robo based on given the specification.
A game will be played between two team and a Plastic ball is placed at the
center of the court. Each team will have to defend the goal on its side as well
as score the goal on the opposite side. Team has to drag the ball to the goal
post with help of robo. Team to do it faster wins. It may include different
rounds with different difficulties.

RULES:

• Each team has min 1 and max 4 members.

• A team that is not ready at the event specified time will be disqualified.
• The game will last for 5 minutes. The size of robot must be within 45
x 45 cm (Length x Width).
• During the game participant (any one team member) can reset
(touch) the robot (if needed).
• In case of tie, there would be penalty shoot-out.
• Any act of misbehaviour or misconduct will lead to
immediate disqualification of the team.
• The robots are not allowed to use grippers or actuators which are
intended to harm the opponent’s robot or lift the ball.
• Use of IC ENGINES or COMPRESSOR is not allowed. ·
• The maximum length of the wire should be 5 meter.
• The wire should not disturb the ball or the opponents robot.

• The Voltage at any point on the electrical connections should not
exceed 24V DC. ·
• Final decision will be on the organiser.

5. ROBO-WAR
Participants of this event are required to create a robot which is capable of
defeating other robots in the ring. Four robots, randomly selected will enter the
ring and fight to knock the others out by either disabling the robot or pushing
them out of bounds. A time limit will be provided under which the opposing
 robots try to knock each other out. If two robots survive within the given time
limit then they proceed to the next round. Then final round will be a fight of 4
where one will be crowned the winner.
