GOAL & GUIDELINES:

ONLY FOR UG STUDENTS

Guidelines:

1. Robot Selection (Two Options)

• Teams have two choices regarding the robot they use for the race:

• Option A: Bring Your Own Bot (BYOB): Teams can bring a custom-built robot. It must adhere to the Robot Specifications listed below.

• Option B: Organiser Provided Bot: Teams without a robot can use a standard bot provided by the event organisers.

• Note: Damage to the organiser's bot due to reckless driving may incur penalties.

2. Robot Specifications (For Custom Bots)

• If you are bringing your own robot, it must meet these limits:

• Size: Must fit within a 30 cm x 30 cm x 20 cm box at the start.

• Power: Electric motors only. Maximum voltage is 12V.

• Mobility: Wheels or tracks are recommended. Flying (drones) is not allowed.

3. Track & Obstacles

• The course is designed to test driving skills on difficult terrain. Expect the following:

• Loose Soil: Sand pits or gravel sections.

• Elevation: Uphill and downhill ramps.

• Bridges: Narrow, elevated paths requiring precise steering.

• Bumps: Speed breakers and rocky surfaces.

• "Hit & Fall" Tasks: Obstacles or targets (e.g., stacked cubes) that the robot must physically ram/hit to knock over in order to proceed.

4. Race Format & Timing

• Run Time: Each team gets 1 run. The best time is counted.

• Time Limit: Maximum 5 minutes per run to complete the course.

• Start/Stop: Timer starts when the robot crosses the Start Line and stops at the Finish Line.

5. Penalties & Scoring

• Out of Track / Reset: If the robot goes off-track, flips, or gets stuck, a team member can reset it to the previous checkpoint.

• Penalty: +5 seconds added to the time per touch/reset.

• Skipping Obstacles: If a robot cannot clear a specific obstacle (e.g., the bridge) after 3 attempts, they may skip it.

• Penalty: +30 seconds added to the time per skipped obstacle.

• Task Failure: Failure to complete a "Hit & Fall" task results in a time penalty (e.g., +15 seconds).

6. Judge Decisions

• Judges decide if an obstacle was cleared successfully.

• Any arguments regarding the fairness of the organiser-provided bots will not be entertained; they are standard for all who use them.
