Last date for abstract submission is 20th January, 2010. Total Prize money worth INR 1,30,000.

Robot Specifications

• The machine should not be more than 500mm*500mm*750mm in size ,with the measurement being taken before the starting of the competition and all the taken to be in their compressed form .
• The weight of the machine should not in any case exceed 7kg.

Mobility:

• All robots must have easily visible and controlled mobility in order to compete.
• Flying is not allowed.

Robot Control Requirement:

• All robots must be radio controlled.
• Tethered control is not allowed
• All robot radio systems must have a way to change frequencies or coded channels to prevent radio conflicts. Having at least two frequencies or coded channels available is required. Lack of extra frequencies may result in a forfeit
• If you are using a home built control system, or a control system not covered here, you must first clear it with this event.
• Toy radio systems are allowed at this event

Batteries and Power:

• Each team must have a battery
• The battery will be taken into consideration for the measurement to be made for the machine dimension and the weight.
• The only permitted batteries are ones that cannot spill or spray any of their contents when damaged or inverted.
• The maximum allowed battery voltage is 48 volts. No external power supply will be provided

Pneumatics:

• Pneumatic systems on board the robot must only employ non-flammable, nonreactive gases (CO2, Nitrogen and air being the most common).
• Pressure at any point of time must not exceed 15 bar.
• Participant must use an external pressure gauge to indicate the pressure being used

Hydraulics:

• Pressure of the hydraulic system used is limited to 15 bar
• There must be an easy way to determine this pressure.
• All hydraulic components onboard a robot must be securely mounted. Particular attention must be made to pump and accumulator mounting and armor to ensure that if ruptured direct fluid streams will not escape the robot.

Spring, Pinning and Lifting:

• Any large springs used for drive or weapon power must have a way of loading and actuating the spring remotely under the robots power
• Under no circumstances must a large spring be loaded when the robot is out of the arena or testing area
• Any flywheel or similar kinetic energy storing device must not be spinning or storing energy in any way unless inside the arena or testing area
• Robots may not win by pinning or lifting their opponents unless the pinning or lifting results in the opponent being forced into a Death Zone judges will allow pinning and / or lifting for a maximum of fifteen 15 seconds.

Forbidden Weapons and Material:

• Weapons designed to cause invisible damage to the other robot. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Electrical weapons

  • RF jamming equipment, etc

  • EMF fields from permanent or electro-magnets that affect another robot’s electronics

  • Weapons or defences that stop combat completely of both (or more) robots. This includes nets, tapes, strings, and other entanglement device

• Weapons that require significant cleanup, or in some way damages the arena to require repair for further matches.
• Un-tethered and Tethered Projectiles
• Heat and Fire : NOT allowed
• Hazardous or dangerous materials are forbidden from use anywhere on a robot where they may contact humans, or by way of the robot being damaged (within reason) contact humans
