Robo Mayhem: Crafting the Ultimate Battle Bot !!!

Welcome to the adrenaline-pumping world of Robo Wars, where innovation meets mayhem,
and metal warriors clash in the ultimate battle for supremacy. In this assignment, you'll step
into the shoes of engineers, builders, and strategists as you design, craft, and unleash your
combat robot into the heart of Robo Mayhem. The challenge is clear: design, build, and unleash
a combat robot that excels in offense, defense, and agility. But in Robo Wars, it's not just about
constructing a robot; it's about crafting a mechanical gladiator that will stand tall in the heat of
battle.
Introduction

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss & prepare a report (2-3 pages) for a remote-
controlled combat robot using microcontroller, sensors, and motors. This robot will be entered
into competitive Robo Wars matches.
Objective

The objective of this assignment is to familiarize the students with the concept of robotics and
its real-world application. This assignment will require the students to work in teams to design,
build and test the combat robot. The final task is to design and build a remote-controlled
combat robot that excels in offense, defense, and agility.
Please note the following instructions:
Instructions

1. Form a team of 3-4 students.

2. Select the components required for the warrior robot.
3. Conduct a financial analysis and present an estimate of the total cost of the combat robot.
4. Prepare a report on the design of the warrior robot. The report should include the following
sections:

• Introduction
• Materials and Methods
• Circuit Diagram
• Financial Analysis

Specifications:

1. Robot Dimensions: The robot should fit within a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft (length x width x height)
when at rest position. It may fold and unfold to meet these dimensions.
2. Weight Limit: The robot's total weight, including batteries, weapons, and all components,
must not exceed 40 kg.
3. Power Supply: The robot must use an onboard power supply. No external off-board power
supply is allowed. The robot can draw power from a DC source with a rating not exceeding
48 volts. Only dry-type sealed batteries (e.g., Li-Poly, Ni-MH, Li-ion) are allowed.
4. Human Operators: Human operators must control the robot from outside the arena using
remote controls. They are not permitted to enter the competition arena once the match
begins.
5. Microcontrollers and Sensors: Teams can use ready-made microcontroller boards and
sensor kits to enhance their robot's functionality.
6. Weapon Attachment: Weapons must remain connected to the robot throughout the match.
If a weapon is released, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the robot will be
disqualified.

Weaponry Allowed:

All kinds of weapons with edges and spikes. Hammers of all kinds. For example:

• Rammer
• Spinner
• Wedge
• Full body spinner
• Lifter
• Flipper
• Overhead hammer/ax

Forbidden Weapons:

• All pyrotechnics, explosives, flames, firearms, corrosives, liquids, electronic devices -

e.g., radio jamming, heat-guns, Tesla coils - are banned.
• Devices using inflammable or combustion-supporting gases are banned.
• Any weapon posing an injury risk to spectators.
• Loosely fitted spinning weapons.
