Guidelines and Judgment

Fig. Path to be traced

1. Size and Weight Limits: dimensional and weight limits for robots shall be strictly
enforced. Robots must have passed inspection prior to competing.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Timekeeping: time shall be measured by an electronic gate system or by a judge
with a stopwatch, based on the availability of equipment. In either case the recorded
time shall be final.
5. Autonomous Control: once a robot has crossed the starting line it must remain fully
autonomous, or it will be disqualified.
6. Losing the Line: any robot that loses the line course must reacquire the line at the
point where it was lost, or at any earlier (e.g. already traversed) point.
7. Second Attempt: any robot that loses the line course and fails to reacquire it will be
allowed a single reattempt. The robot must start the course again from the beginning,
and if it loses the line course on its second attempt it will be disqualified.
8. Power of Officials: the decisions of all officials regarding these rules and the
conduct of the event shall be final.
9. Track: Track has white background and black strip over it which is 1 (1 inch) wide.

covered the whole track, from start to end, without any external intervention whatsoever.
Team members are not allowed to intervene with the hovercraft functioning once it is
running the main race.
vii. The organizers fully reserve the right to amend the track layout before the teams
Compete.
viii. The organizers fully reserve the right to disqualify any team that violates the rules and

MANOEUVER COMPETITION
MOTIVE

Nature has a beautiful phenomenon of Diffusion and we need to follow this for diffusing many
important things beyond our planet. But the driving force for diffusion is completely destroyed
by the zombies. Now all of it depends on few robots that can restore lives by providing the
driving force. But are the few robots capable enough? Can they diffuse the things through the
barriers in the path? Would they be able to restore back the almightys driving force? We put you
in charge to make this happen!!

MISSION

Gameplay consist of one bots from each team in order to correctly diffuse the boxes. The bot has
to pick the box from one side and travel in the other side and then place the box on the other side.
Arena has different obstacles and path for bot. A fixed time will be given in which each team has
to diffuse the boxes as many as possible in their respective area.

GENERAL RULES

1. Each team can have a maximum of 5 participants and minimum of 2 from which one is
leader.
2. A team may consist of students from different college.
3. No damage should be made by a bot to the arena or to other teams bots during the
Match in any manner.
4. Bots should not be disassembled until the results are declared.
5. The organizers reserve the right to change the rules and/or arena as they deem fit.
6. When a team is called for match, they must report within five minutes.
7. Judges/managers decision will be final.
8. Participation certificate will be provided to all team members except winner team.

The top teams would then enter the FINAL round. The criteria for selecting top teams would be
the total number of points scored.
