Robot will start from lowermost left segment of the track(indicated by start sign). Go up to M-1(mirror 1) position, reaching up to this position will give 5pts. IF Mirror M1 is ... present - take left turn at x1 absent - take right turn at x1 Then go up to respective M-2 position(either left /right),reaching up to (M2) after taking correct turn at x1(as indicated by M1) gives another 5 pts. IF mirror M2 is ... present - go to mirror 4 (M4) absent - go to mirror 3 (M3) Go to mirror3 / mirror4 position ,reaching up to (M3/M4) after taking correct turn at x2 gives another 5 pts. IF mirror M3/M4 is ... present - trace the head clockwise absent - trace the head anticlockwise After encircling the head once in correct direction robot should stop at the stopping point indicated in diagram. This earns you the last 5 pts. Penalties/Bonus points :

• • • •

2 pts penalty for off board power supply. 2 pts penalty for off board controller (i.e use of computer based control). Timing bonus : Bonus points based on the time taken to complete entire track will be calculated as : (1/Time taken in seconds)*200 and will added(up to 2 decimal places) to above score. Participants will be given at the most 4 chances to complete the track. Average of two best scores will be considered for final judgment.

Facilities Provided:

1. 2.

Adequate number of AC main outlets. Two computers will be provided only for re-programming the microcontroller based robots. Participants must bring their own microcontroller programming

circuit board. No programming device/circuit board/µC flash programmer will be provided. Participant must take permission from event heads before attaching µC programming board to PC or installing any software on PCs provided. Event heads may deny use of PCs provided, with/without any reason, if they feel it appropriate.

Rules:

1. 2. 3.

4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Maximum participants per team : 4. Robot must fit within the box of size 25x25x25 (cm3) Distance of the guiding mirrors from centre of the track will be adjusted according to size of the robot. Participants cannot touch the robot once it started. If robot goes off track it will be placed back at the starting of the track. Robot structure and electronics must be completely made by participating students. No ready made electronic kits /units, are allowed. However mechanics sets can be used to make chassis of robot. Robot must be completely autonomous (i.e capable of taking decisions on its own once powered on). Any kind of manual guiding before giving trial run/ during run will be disallowed and may lead to disqualification. Toy gear boxes are not allowed. Either robot or team members must not cause damage to the track or else it will lead to disqualification. Robot must work on DC supply (24V or below). Participants must bring their own power supplies, no power supplies will be provided by the organizers. Only 230V AC mains outlets will be provided

10.All peripherals required for operation of the robot (including PC incase of, off board processor) must be brought by participants.

11.Neither

organizers nor DBIT committee shall be responsible for respective robots or any components belonging to the participants, and will in no way be held responsible in case of any untoward incidents.

12.The decision of the judges will be final and abiding

for all arbitrating matters including but not limited to prices, disqualification and points awarded.

13.Rules for the event may be updated as decided by event heads. However full information regarding updated rules will available with the event heads and will be displayed at venue at the time of competition. 14. Schedule for practice sessions will be declared one week prior to the event.
