ROBO Race Competition

 Maximum three teams from a department of a university/institute can participate.
 Maximum three members are allowed in each team.
 The goal of contest is to design a remote control robot that move fast on a pre-defined track.
 The one who will complete the track in less time will win the race.
 The condition in race is to remain on track all the time.The robot which loses its track will lose the race too.
 The participants will bring their own robots in working condition.
 Robots must be autonomous. But no wetware (human) operated remote controls will be permitted.
 The length, width, and weight of a robot are not specified in this contest. The only requirement is that the robot must
remain on the course during the event. It is the designers’ responsibility to design the robot to accomplish its task.
 The maximum robot height is not applicable for the Line Following course, but no robot that is deemed by race
officials to be harmful or damaging to either people or the course will be permitted.
 All robots must be ready to run at the start of contest. The order of running will be randomly assigned. Before the
contest starts, all contestants are invited to examine the course. Any issues the contestants have with the course
(smudges, uneven surfaces, etc.) must be brought to the attention of judges at this time. The route maps will also be
shared on the website a day prior to the competition.
 When it is his or her turn, a contestant may perform a quick calibration (e.g. metering black and white) before starting
the run. The contestant starts a match by pressing a start button. Timing of run will begin when the robot crosses the
“START” line.
 Once a match has started, no contestant or official may touch the track or interfere with the robots in any way.
 Registration fee is Rs.500/- per participant.
