ROBO WAR

Design a wired/wireless, manually controlled machine that is capable of fighting a one on one combat and is able to knock out the opponent or score the maximum points in a battle.

Robot Specifications:

Registration fee : 1000/-

 

Dimensions and Fabrications:

  1. The initial dimensions of the robot should not exceed 65cm x 65cm x 65cm (l x b x h).And the tolerance is actual dimension + 5%.

  2. The weight of the machine should not exceed 52 kgs for wired robot and 60 kgs for wireless robot. And the tolerance is actual weight + 2kgs.

 

Control Requirements:

  1. In case of wired bots, the minimum length of the wires should be 10 meters. The wires should remain slack at any instant during the fight. All the wires coming out of the machine should be stacked as a single unit.

  2. In case of wireless system, it should have a minimum four frequency remote control circuit or two dual control circuits or a transmitter-receiver paired module so that frequency interferences with the opposing team can be avoided (in case of any interference in the wireless systems, they will not be considered for rematch or in the results). Team should pair up the wireless remote with the machine before putting it into the arena.

 

Battery & Power:

  1. The machine can be powered electrically only. Use of an IC engine in any form is not allowed. Batteries must be sealed, immobilized-electrolyte types (such as gel cells, lithium, NiCad or dry cells).

  2. The electrical voltage at any point of time in the machine should not exceed 48V (DC/AC). 230V (AC) power will be provided for wired bots.

  3. In case of wireless robot batteries should be placed on the robot.

  4. In case of wired robot teams can use external batteries.

  5. All efforts must be made to protect battery terminals from a direct short and causing a battery fire.

 

Weapon Systems:

Robots can have any kind of cutters, flippers, saws, hammers, lifting devices etc. as weapons, with the following exceptions:

  •  Liquid projectiles,

  • Acid based Weapons,

  • EMP generators,

  • Any kind of flammable liquid,

  • Flame-producing weapons

    Robot’s weapons are classified as defensive or offensive by the event coordinators based on the description given by the team in the Team Description Paper.

 Event Rules:

Game:

  1. Each team can have maximum of 5 members.

  2. During the match only one team-member will participate in competition. He will be controlling the robot. Only one team member will be given safety gear and others have to stay away from the arena.

  3. Setup time: 2 minutes.

  4. Match duration: 4 minutes.

 

Scoring:

       Points are earned by attacking opponent team. In case of no knock outs or if both robots are inactive, winner will be decided by points criteria.

 

Attacking:

  1. Only offensive weapons are considered for scoring. If a team attacks the opponent robot with an offensive weapon and makes a great impact (decided by the event coordinators), the team will be awarded 50 points.

  2. A team successfully toppling the opponent is awarded 100points.

  3. If any team member has to enter the arena for some reasons like repairing small faults, for the first time will be considered as no negative points, then that team will lose 20points for each time out.

  4. If a bot is cornered by other bots i.e. if bot is forced to a corner and his movements are held by other bots for some period of time, then opponents will each gain 50points.

  5. Bonus points will be given for aggressiveness (Remember bonus points will be critical in the case of tie).  Above points criteria is subjected to change. Points awarded by judges are final and any kind of misbehaviour with judges can fetch disqualification for the team.

 

Criteria for Victory:

  1. A robot is declared victorious if its opponent is immobilized. (A robot is declared immobile if it cannot display linear motion of at least one inch in a timed period of 30 seconds).

  2. If a robot is thrown out of the arena the match will stop immediately, and the robot inside the arena will be winner.

  3. In case of a tie, there will be an extra two minute will be given as tie breaker and the winner will go to next round. If there is still a tie then depending on aggressiveness (decided by the coordinators), one team will go to the next round

 

Violations:

  1. If the robot operator is seen to be using the wire from the controller to pull, move or hold the robot, i.e. if the wire become stout at any point, the team will be losing 20points.

  2. Any intentional damage (including track marks on the arena floor) to the arena will be losing 10points

 

NOTE:

Qualification of a robot to next level is subjective and totally on the decision of the judges.

All the decisions taken by the judge will be final and binding to all. Any queries afterwards will not be entertained.
