LINE FOLLOWER

Youtube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3sFkWgPJc8

Problem Statements
Make an autonomous robot that works on the principle of line following. The robot has to start from the start block (in arena) and follow wider line (width of 2.5cm) to reach the stop point.
Arena consists of two fields: -
White Field- In this field autonomous robot has to follow black line on white surface.
Black Field- In this field autonomous robot has to follow white line on black surface.
There are cross links of line and confusion lines so the autonomous robot has to use microcontroller to follow the main line to reach destination.

General Rules
1) The Robot should be purely autonomous.
2) A team can have a maximum of 4 members.
3) Each team must declare a name for their Robot at the time of competition.
4) The Robot you build will be first checked for size and safety.
5) Judges have the right to disqualify any Robot whose working mechanism or game strategy is considered hazardous in any way.
6) In case any kind of dispute, the judges decision will be considered final and binding to all and no argument will be entertained.

Game Rules
1) The time taken for completion will be noted down.
2) You can touch your Robot only twice after start but 2 sec will be added to your time as penalty for each touch
3) The team members are not allowed to enter the arena at any point of time but the teams can move around the arena.
4) The team which will complete the track in least time will win.
5) No external supply will be given.
6) NOTE:
1. If robot ever encounters a loop, it must follow it completely.
2. Robot must never change its path which led it to a dead end.

BOT and BLOCK Specifications
1) BOT must fit in a box of 250(length) x200(breadth) x200(height) mm with full extension.
2) It should not weigh more than 2.5 kg.
3) It has to be totally autonomous and self powered.
4) At any point, circuit rating should not exceed 24V DC.

Disqualification
1) Any kind of damage to arena will lead to a disqualification.
2) The teams shall be given a time of 10 minutes before the start of the match.
3) Judges have the right to disqualify any team if they feel the team is not playing with fair interests.


Length of arena = 2.5m

Width of area = 2m Width of line = 30mm Help
Use four or five IR or other sensors and microcontroller (like Arduino).

Note
If the teams require any material that is not available please contact us for help as soon as possible, we would provide the material but the teams have to pay for the material.

MAGNETO MAZE

Youtube Link: http://youtu.be/J75Jv2bjXsM

Story
You have been caught in a Maze. In the maze there are several paths but only one path in the maze is safe and all other paths have underground mines in them. You have to find the safe path in the arena and get out of the maze safely.

Problem Statement
Build a semi-autonomous robot which Locomotes and can detect Magnetic Field autonomously. Bot has to be controlled manually (wired or wireless) and there should be an autonomous system to detect magnet hidden inside the arena. The semi-autonomous robot has to transverse the arena by avoiding the magnets placed in the paths.

Rules
1. A team can have maximum 4 participants.
2. The semi-autonomous robot has to start from the start zone and transverse the arena by avoiding the Bombs (refer to the permanent magnet buried in arena) to get out of arena.
3. There is only one path in the arena to get out of arena and all other are blocked by placing the magnets (bombs).
4. The field of the magnets is into the arena.
5. There should not be any attraction mechanism to detect the magnets. You can use sensors to detect magnets.
6. Negative points will be awarded if the robot steps on magnets.
7. Every time the robot steps on a mine(magnet), it loses a life. After stepping the Bombs (Magnets), it'll have to start from the last check point.
8. The robot has four lives, i.e. if the robot steps four times on the Magnets, his game will end.
9. Points will be deducted for each life lost, from the initial score. Each life costs negative points.
10. Restarts from last check point are allowed only before the robot steps on the bombs (Magnets) for the fourth time.
11. One who have come out of arena in minimum time and have maximum points will be declared winner.
12. Top two teams will be awarded.
13. Teams will be given 10 minutes to change the circuitry or code according to requirements.

Arena
1. The Arena is of the size 2.2m*2.2m.
2. There will be a penalty for bumping into the walls.
3. No participant will be allowed to step on the arena.
4. The robot and the participating team must not damage the arena in any way.
5. Magnetic field is within the circle of radius around 3.5cm.



Robot Control
Robot should be fit in box of dimensions 28x20x10 (lxbxh). Teams will be given 12V DC and 240V AC supply. Robot control can be wired, wireless or gesture controlled.

Help
You can use Hall Effect sensor to sense the magnets (mines) and LED or Buzzer alarm to indicate magnet before step on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFdGtvo9JE

Note
If the teams require any material that is not available please contact us for help as soon as possible, we would provide the material but the teams have to pay for the material.

TRANS-FIGUR-ATOR

Introduction
Transformer is "the heart of alternating current system". There are transformers all over every house; they are inside the black plastic case which you plug into the wall to recharge your cell phone or other devices. They can be very large, as in national utility systems, or it can be very small embedded inside electronics. So here you have opportunity to design and manufacture a small transformer using the provided materials and past theoretical knowledge.
Who make this "heart" best will be the champion.

Event layout
1. Each team comprises of 3 members at most.
2. We will provide the teams with necessary material to design a transformer which must step up a 12V AC into 24V AC.
3. Round 1:- Question paper consisting of basic electrical principles.
4. Round 2:- 8 teams (tentative) will be selected on the basis of round 1.

Judging criteria
1. The team which will be able to step up to 24V AC most accurately (closest to 24V) will win.
2. In case of a clash time of completion will be considered as judging criteria.

Prize money
First prize = Rs.2000
Second Prize = Rs.1000
