About

Robotics as a whole is a competition where people can showcase their technical skills. RoboRace is a competition where couple of Robots compete with each other in their speed and accurate control.
• Construct Your Machine to have the maximum speed to beat another machines on the given track to reach the final destination in minimum time.
• You have to build a manually controlled robot capable of traversing over different terrain and unseen hurdles.
• There will be separate points for overcoming the obstacles as well as the other parameter being within time. Thus the bot with the most cumulative points will win.
• The aim of the event is to check the robustness of the vehicle and its competence with the opponent on the same track.

Task
Design and construct a remote controlled (wired/wireless) robot capable not only running fast but also is capable of fighting hurdles on the track in the least time.

Robot Specification
• Wheels and conveyor belts are allowed for locomotion.
• The weight of the bot should not be more than 2.0kgs (excluding power source).
• The bot should fit in a box dimensions 30 X 25 X 25 cm.
• At all times, bots behavior should be nonoffensive, nondestructive and non- harmful to humans and track.
• Bots are not allowed to fly or jump.
• Internal combustion engine cannot be used.
• Also bot must not emit smoke or fire, leak, stain or soil, spray, throw or use projectiles.
• Use of ic engines or compression is not allowed. All vehicles must depend only on motors for their propulsion and control.
• The person who have made the robot should be able to explain the circuit and the program uploaded(if any).

Team Specification
• Any team can participate in Robo Race. A team may consist of 2 to 4 member Participants. These participants can be from same or different institutes.
• Team Representative: Each team must specify their Team Representative (Leader)at the time of registration on the website.
• All important communications between organizers and the registered teams will be done through Team Representative.
• Each student must have a valid IdCard of their college.
• Team should check their bots properly before racing if there is any technical fault just before racing you are disqualified.
• Teams start their vehicles at starting line, on a signal given by the event coordinators. The timing will begin as soon as the signal is given.
• The track will contain certain number of check-points and if the bot goes out of the track then it has to start with the previous check- point and will be penaltilized accordingly.
• A vehicle remaining stationary for more than 45 seconds gets disqualified.
• The coordinators hold the direction to restart a race, in case of a valid reason to do so.

Track Specification
Track may contain muddy regions, wet regions, rollers (low rpm) and slope not more than 45degrees.
