MECHMANTRA- 2024

Description:

Design a wired/wireless manually controlled robot which should be able to travel on land, sand, and water etc. The robot that traverses all the hurdles and completes the track in the minimum amount of time is declared as the 'DEATH RACE WINNER'.

Bot Specifications:

The dimensions of the vehicle must be within (40x40x40) cm. The robot can be wired/ wireless. In case of wired control, the wires should be slack all the time. In case of wireless control, the RC should have two remote control circuits (or dual frequency remote control circuit/Bluetooth) which can be switched to either of the frequency before the event. The power supply for the vehicle should not exceed 12V DC between any two points in the circuit at any given time. Use of readymade chassis/ RC Car is not allowed. Use of IC engine or compressor is not allowed. All the robots must depend only on motors for their propulsion and control. The body of the vehicle must be covered, to avoid any entanglement between two competing robots. Damaging the wires of opponent will lead to disqualification.

Arena Specifications:

The robot has to traverse through a rough terrain of width 0.5 to 1m which is surrounded by a barrier of height 20cm.
The arena has 6 types of regions:

• Region 1: The robot has to move across a series of speed breakers, each of radius 2.5cm.
• Region 2: The robot has to move through a pit of depth 10cm.
• Region 3: A small portion of the track is filled with sand (with depth 3cm) on which the robot has to traverse.
• Region 4: The track is elevated with an inclination of 30 degrees in this part.
• Region 5: This region is a graveled path.
• Region 6: In this region, the robot has to travel through a damp area, filled with water with a depth of 3cm.
• Note: Some other regions which are not specified here will be present.

Rules:

• Teams must start their Robots from the starting line only after a signal is given by the Referee. The timer starts immediately after the signal is given.
• Number of participants per team should not exceed 5. Bot should always remain inside the track.
• If the bot leaves the track at any point during the race or becomes immobile, it will be considered as a “PIT FALL,” which is an opportunity to repair or relocate the bot. Each pit fall spans for 1 minute. The first three pit falls are considered to be penalty-free.
• Only two persons from a team are allowed to manipulate the bot during a pit fall. One hour before the event, the bot must go through a specification check. Misbehavior of a participant will lead to disqualification or a reduction in points.
• If special circumstances, such as unforeseen problems or capabilities of a robot, occur, rules may be modified by the referee. The referee's decision will be final.
• Use of any unfair practices during the competition will result in disqualification from the arena.

Judging Criteria:

The time taken to complete the whole track is solely considered. The robot which completes the track in least time is declared as the winner. Wireless controlled robots will have some advantage in the track. In case of a tie then other factors such as no of pitfalls are considered. There will be a penalty of Time if the Robot is not able to move on a particular hurdle, it can be skipped.
