PROBLEM STATEMENT: Build a fastest wired or wireless robot that can reach the destination in the blink of an eye, avoiding penalties.
ROBOT SPECIFICATIONS 1. Dimensions of the robot should not exceed 30cm x 30cm x 30cm (l x b x h) with a tolerance of 5%. 2. Minimum track width of the robot should be 30cm. 3. Robot can be wired or wireless. 4. Readymade chassis, wireless control systems, any form of Printed Circuit Boards (Exception: ARDUINO’s) are not allowed. 5. Robot should have on board power supply not exceeding 12V between any two points. 6. The maximum weight limit for the robot is 5 kg. 7. Incase of technical breakdown, not more than 30 seconds would be given to the team to fix it.
JUDGING CRITERIA 1. The team which completes the qualification round arena in least time with least no. of penalties is eligible for next round. 2. Penalties are imposed if robot touches the border of the track or if skips or replacements are chosen. Each penalty adds extra time to the total time. The time added for each penalty shall be declared on the day of the event. 3. Teams get disqualified if they are penalized more than the allowed limit (declared on the day of event) and if the robot can’t traverse the arena in the given time.
1. A team can consist of a maximum of 4 members. 2. Members of different institutions can form a team. 3. Only 2 members of a team are allowed to stay around the arena (for controlling and assisting) and a team is allowed to play with one robot only. 4.If robot moves out of the arena twice, it will be considered as disqualified. 5. Any kind of damage to the arena will not be entertained, and if done, the robot will be immediately disqualified. 6. All the required accessories have to be brought by the participants. 7. No technical assistance will be provided by the coordinators during the time of the event. 8. No practice runs will be provided. 9. Use of an IC engine in any form is not allowed. 10. Human interference (e.g. touching the robot) during the game is not allowed. 11.If a participant does not comply with the rules of the event he/she will be disqualified from the event. 12.Misbehaviour of any kind will not be tolerated and the team will be subjected to disqualification from ROBOLYMPIA. 13.No external power supply will be provided at the time of event. 14. Lego kits are strictly prohibited and will lead to disqualification. 15.Participants with wired robots are advised to get wires of length 4m or more. 16.Readymade PCBs are not allowed.
