31

General Construction

1) Each robot must at least have an active weapon.

2) The fitting of interchangeable body panels or alternative weaponry is

allowed before each round and must be retained till the end of the round.

3) During finals, any on-board equipment that could require attention

between duels for maintenance - e.g. recharging of compressed gas

cylinders, charging batteries, resetting of weapons, etc. should be easily

and quickly accessible i.e. systems must be installed in such a manner that

they can be removed for filling and testing within five minutes.

Style

All robots must have easy visibility and controlled mobility in order to compete.

Methods of mobility include:

1) Rolling (wheels, tracks or the whole robot).

2) Non-wheeled robots having no rolling elements in contact with the floor

and no continuous rolling or cam operated motion in contact with the floor,

either directly or via a linkage. Motion is "continuous" if continuous

operation of the drive motor(s) produces continuous motion of the robot.

3) Linear-actuated legs and novel non-wheeled drive systems come under

this category.

4) Jumping, hopping and flying (using air foil , helium balloons, ornithopters,

etc.) is not allowed.

Dimensions and Fabrications

1) The machine should fit in a box of dimension 35x35x35 cub. cm at the

starting of the match.

2) The machine should not exceed 15kg including the weight of pneumatic

source/tank.

3) Weight of adaptors, battery and the remote control will not be counted.

4) Any machine component should not be detached (intentionally) during any

point of the war.

5) Readymade gear boxes, control circuits and remote control can be used.

Wiring Control Requirements

The machine can be controlled through wired or wireless controls.

1) The remote to be used should have a minimum four frequency control

circuit or two dual control circuits or a transmitter receiver paired module

so that the frequency interferences with opponent team can be avoided (in

case of any interference in the wireless systems, they will not be

considered for rematch).

32

2) Non-standard or self-made remote control systems must first be approved

by the organizers.

3) In case of wired bots, 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. Also, the wires should be projected 500mm above the ground

to avoid entanglement.

Battery and Power 1) The machine can be powered electrically. Use of batteries is also allowed.

2) Power supply has to be on-board.

3) Batteries must be sealed, immobilized electrolyte types (such as gel cells,

lithium, NiCad or dry cells).

4) The electrical voltage at any point of time in the machine should not exceed

36V DC.

5) All efforts must be made to protect battery terminals from a direct short

and causing a battery fire, failure to do so will cause direct disqualification.

6) Use of damaged, non-leak proof batteries may lead to disqualification.

7) Change of battery will not be allowed during the match (exemption can be

made in case of battery damage).

8) It is suggested to have extra battery ready and charged up during

competition so that on advancing to next level, you don't have to wait or

suffer due to uncharged battery. If teams don't show up on allotted slot,

they will be disqualified.

9) Use of IC engine in any form is not allowed.

Safety 1) Compliance with all event rules is mandatory. It is expected that

competitors stay within the rules and procedures of their own accord and

do not require constant policing.

2) The machine will be checked for its safety before the competition and the

team will be disqualified if their machine is found unsafe.

3) Participants are expected to abide by the rules & should co-operate with

the organizers.

4) If you have a robot or weapon design that does not fit within the categories

set forth in these rules or is in some way ambiguous or borderline, please

contact the event organizers. Safe innovation is always encouraged, but

surprising the event staff with your brilliant exploitation of a loophole may

cause your robot to be disqualified before it even competes.

5) All participants will build and operate robots at their own risk. Combat

robotics is inherently dangerous. There is no amount of regulation that can

encompass all the dangers involved. Please take care to not hurt yourself or

others when building, testing and competing.

33

Pneumatics and Hydraulics

1) Participants can use pneumatic and hydraulic weapon systems but use of

external pressure/ liquid cylinders are not allowed. Cylinders should be

placed on the bots.

2) The outlet pressure of the source/tank should not exceed 10 bars.

3) Robots can use pressurized, non-inflammable gases/liquid to initialize

their pneumatic mechanisms.

4) The used pressure should be indicated by means of temporarily fitted

pressure gauge or there should be a provision to measure the cylinder

pressure on the bot.

5) The storage tank and pressure regulators used by teams are needed to be

certified and teams using pneumatics are required to produce the Safety

and Security letters at the Registration Desk on the venue. Failing to do so

will lead to direct disqualification.

6) You must have a safe way of refilling the system and determining the on

board pressure.

7) All pneumatic components boarded on a robot must be securely mounted.

Particular attention must be made to pressure vessel mounting and armor

to ensure that if ruptured it will not escape the robot. The terms 'pressure

vessel, bottle, and source tank' are used interchangeably.

Weapon System

Robots can have any kind of cutters, flippers, saws, lifting devices, spinning

hammers etc. as weapons with following exceptions and limitations:

1) Liquid projectiles.

2) Any kind of inflammable liquid.

3) Flame-based weapons.

4) Any kind of explosive or intentionally ignited solid or potentially ignitable

solid.

5) Nets, tape, glue, or any other entanglement device.

6) High power magnets or electromagnets.

7) Radio jamming, lasers, tesla coils, or any other high-voltage device.

8) Tethered or un-tethered projectiles.

Spinning weapons which do not come in contact with the arena at any point of

time are allowed. In no case should the arena be damaged by any bot.

34

Team Specification

Any team can participate in Robo wars. A team may consist of a maximum of 5

participants. But during the match no participant is allowed in the arena of the

fight.

Team Name

Every team must have a unique name. Organizers reserve the right to reject

entries from any Team whose name it deems inappropriate, offensive or

conflicting. Organizers must be informed if a team changes its name.

Team Representative

Each team must specify their team representative (Leader) at the time of

registration on the website who will communicate with the organizers. She/he

must submit valid contact details (phone no., email ID etc.) at the time of

registration.

Registration Teams using pneumatics or hydraulics will have to send a safety letter signed by

any faculty in-charge/Lab in-charge or a testing lab/company dealing in this field,

on their official letter head.

Judging Criteria

1) A robot is declared victorious if its opponent is immobilized.

2) A robot will be declared immobile if it cannot display linear motion of at

least one inch in a time period of 30 seconds. A bot with one side of its

drive train disabled will not be counted out if it can demonstrate some

degrees of controlled movement. In case, both the robots remain mobile

after the end of the round then the winner will be decided subjectively.

3) A robot that is deemed unsafe by the judges after the match has begun will

be disqualified and therefore, declared the loser. The match will be stop

there and the opponent will be awarded a win.

4) If a robot is thrown out of the arena the match will stop immediately, and

the robot which survives inside the arena will automatically be declared as

the victor.

5) Robots cannot win by pinning or lifting their opponents. Organizers will

allow pinning or lifting for a maximum of 20 seconds per pin / lift; then the

attacker robot will be instructed to release the opponent. If after being

instructed to do so, the attacker is able to release but does not, their robot

may be disqualified. If two or more robots become entangled or a crushing

or gripping weapon is employed and becomes trapped within another

robot, then the competitors should make the timekeeper aware. The fight

should be stopped and the robots should be separated by the safest means.

35

6) Points will be given on the basis of aggression, damage, control and

strategy. Aggression is judged by the frequency, severity, boldness and

effectiveness of attacks deliberately initiated by the robot against its

opponent. If a robot appears to have accidentally attacked an opponent

that act will not be considered aggression. Control means a robot is able to

attack an opponent at its weakest point, use its weapons in the most

effective way and minimize the damage caused by the opponent or its

weapons. Damage is not considered relevant if a robot inadvertently harms

itself. Also, if a pressure vessel or a rapidly spinning device on a robot

fragments, any damage to the opponent will not be considered "deliberate"

strategy. Strategy is also defined as a robot exhibiting a deliberate defense

plan that guards its weakness against the strength of the opponent.

7) Points will be given on the basis of assembling skills used in designing and

making a robot.

Question by the judging panel. (1 min)

Question by the other teams. (1 min)

Debate

English

Hindi

51

When worded as a proposition of policy, the topic requires the affirmative to

support some specified action by some particular individual or group. The

affirmative has the right to make any reasonable definition of each of the

proposition. If the negative challenges the reasonableness of a definition by the

affirmative, the judge must accept the definition of the speaker that shows

better grounds for its interpretation of the term.

He who asserts must prove. In order to establish an assertion, the speaker must
