ROBO WAR
Description
Robowar is a sport which is quite similar to wrestling; only with robots. It is the war between two robots. Only difference is that the robots in robowar may use weapons such as axes, hammers, spinning weapons and flippers, just to name a few.
Hence you need to design a robot, which is either a wireless remote controlled vehicle or a wire controlled vehicle powered by electric motors which is capable of defeating the opponent robot by destroying, pushing or throwing the robot out of the arena.
Problem statement
Each participating team must design a (manual controlled / autonomous) combat robot with a sole mission of annihilating the opponent's robot.
Track Specifications:-
The track will be made out of a plywood sheet mounted on a bridge prepared by using Iron/Wooden bars (columns). The track will be flat. The track will have no other obstacles rather than two holes of 50cm X 50cm. The arena will be as shown in the figure with the circular part having diameter of around 4 meters and 60 cm wide oppositely placed entry platforms.
Rules:-
1. The robot specifications are as follow:-
Length = 40cm max.
Width = 40cm max
Height = 40 cm max.
2. Weight max=7kg.
3. Motor used should not exceed 15v dc rating.
4. A max of 24v between any 2 points on the robot can be used.
5. Wire length should be 4mts preferred.
6. 230v ac power supply will be provided.
7. The participant’s along with their robot will be disqualified, if any damage to the arena is caused.
8. If any participant is using wireless remote control then mismatching of frequency with other remote control will not be the responsibility of the organizer
9. Readymade or ready to assemble robots are not allowed, however students can make use of parts or components such as readymade gears, pulleys, belts, etc.
10. Judges and the organizers’ decision will be final.
11. The first round of the competition will be one to one or knock out in which out of two only one will go to the second round.
12. Weapons can be used in the first round.
13. Fire is allowed provided it does not come in contact with the arena.
14. Cutting the wires of the opponent robot is allowed.
15. Rules for the second round are the same. Only the number of competing bots at a time for second round will be disclosed on the spot.
Machine Specifications:-
1. Robotic vehicle dimensions: 40cm x 40cm x 40cm max.
2. Prototype of vehicle should be solely prepared by the participants however use of readymade wheels & geared motor is allowed.
3. The machine must not be made from readymade kits like Lego or Meccano sets or any other kits available in the market.
4. Parts such as Gears, pulleys & belts, springs, motors and servos, batteries and wheels and suspension assemblies can be used, directly purchased from the market.
5. Note that the decision of the judges will be final and binding; any team found breaking the rules mentioned above, will be disqualified.
6. The vehicle is allowed to have a reverse mechanism. However the vehicle must run on the track itself and must not damage any part of the track.
Controls:-
1. The vehicle may be controlled either by a wireless or by a wired Remote control.
2. Remote controls can be used from various model cars or toys or even those purchased from the market.
3. For wired control robots the length of the wire should be sufficiently long (4m), so as to control the vehicle easily from a single point.
Power Supply:-
1) The machine can use an externally placed or on-board electric supply.
2) Voltage at any point on the machine must be lower than 24V at any time during the game.
3) The organizers will provide a standard 230V/50Hz AC power supply. Any Extension
Chords, Adapters, etc will have to be arranged by the participants.
Judging Criteria:-
1. Criteria for judging the winner and score will be provided on the spot, such as penalties and bonus points.
2. The decisions of the judges will be final and binding.
Team Specifications:-
1. A Team may consist of a maximum of 4 members.
2. Students from different institutes and streams of engineering are allowed.
3. The students will have to carry a valid Identity Card of their respective institutions.
Written description about Vehicle working:-
A written abstract must be prepared and sent keeping the following in mind:
Basic empty Chassis design must be provided and pictures (if possible) of the built chassis must be sent.
Specifications of all other components like motors, suspensions, etc. must be provided (Optional).
Any other mechanisms used which might provide your vehicle with an advantage must also be mentioned in the abstract and an explanation of the same must also be given.
All these needs to be sent via e-mail either as PDF files or MS Word Document to the e-mail address: mechtorque11@gmail.com

(Note: The above abstract is being asked for, so that we assess your efforts put into your machine and make sure it is within the rules and specifications. You can send us your vehicle description based on the current state of your machine before the last date, even if your machine is incomplete)
