Keep your mouth shut and get your hands on the tools because first time in the history MRCE is organising ROBOTICS event with some special events.
So get out of the rooms and start packing to come to MRCE.Basicaaly the event includes two compitition ,one for autonomous i.e line follower and another for manuallly controlled i.e RobosoccerSo why to wait come and score the goals

Botball

BOTBALL

Problem Statement:
Make a robot which is capable of playing soccer at a knockout tournament

Arena
1. The dimensions of arena are given in the diagram itself.
2. The arena would consist of a wooden board with proper markings of the penalty zone, goal etc.
3. There would be side walls provided which can be of any random co lour.
4. The surface of arena would be made smooth so don’t worry for that.

Rules:
1. A team can consist a maximum of 4 members. Participants from different institutions can form a team on mutual consent. Team member should have valid educational institute ID card.
2. At all times the robot (excluding the wires. Switches and remote) should fit in a box of size – (lxbxh) 30X30X30 cm.
3. Robots should not grip/hold the ball at all. Doing so they will be penalized.
4. The tournament will be played on a knock-out basis, with two machines competing against each other.
5. Match duration would be of 10 minutes.(after 5 min. the side will be changed)
6. Standard Table Tennis balls would be provided for scoring the goals.
7. Boundary walls will be provided. Incase the ball jumps from the boundary walls then game will again start from the centre, giving free kick to the opponent.
8. The organizers will provide a standard 230V/50 Hz AC power supply. Any extension cords, eliminators, adaptors etc required will have to be arranged by participants themselves..
9. The batteries can be attached on robot or power (ONLY DC SUPPLY) can be supplied from the external sources, but mechanisms for direct transfer of mechanical energy like clutch wires is not allowed. If the batteries are external then they are excluded from the size constraints.
10. Adapters/batteries should not exceed the ratings of 24 V and 7 AMP.
11. Robot should not harm other robot (however it can defend) and any robot doing same would be marked disqualified.
12. The machine cannot be constructed using readymade Lego (or any other kind) kits or any readymade mechanism. But you can make use of readymade gear assemblies. Violating this clause will lead to the disqualification of the machine. The judges hold the right to subjectively determine if the machine violates this.
All the wires should be slack enough at all times so that the robot is not pulled by the wires. Violation of this rule will lead to disqualification.
13. If any dispute occurs then decision of organizers would be final.

Marking Scheme
1. If the ball is thrown out of the arena then opponent team would be awarded 10 extra marks.
2. If a team secures goal +1 mark would be awarded. In case of Own Goal the opponent team gets +1 mark
3. If you hold the ball by an actuator or any gripping mechanism. If anyone grips/holds the ball then free kick( from that particular point )would be given to the opponent.
4. In case of a draw, penalty shoot out of 5 rounds would be conducted.
5. At penalty shoot out, above mentioned rules of game apply.
6. The team securing maximum marks would be declared as winner.

Specifications
1. The track used in the competition is shown in the figure (2.2mtr*1.1mtr)
2. Two robots would be placed in the arena at a time and the team has to score their goals.

Problem Statement
Make an autonomous robot which is able to traverse through the given track in the minimum time.

Introduction

Conquering speed has always been an addiction for man, for it means pushing back a boundary and fighting against limits of mankind. So for all you speed lovers the time has come to design an autonomous robot which races on a given path of black line with different thickness in the minimum possible time. Let your masterpiece race against time at Epiphany 08


Arena
1. The arena would consist of a white chart paper on which racing tracks would be made by black electric tape of varying thickness.
2. The thickness is as follows:
(I) AB=IJ=KL=MN=3cm
(II)CD=EF=GH=1.5cm
3. The paper would be placed on a plane surface. Do not worry about irregularities on surface. We will take care of it.
4. The light in the room would be normal and the arena would be placed inside a closed room so if you are using a sensor which is affected by visible light (e.g. led ldr pair) then please cover your robot properly so that it is not affected by room light.
5. There would be 3 small arena’s provided to you so that you can do testing and troubleshooting before the start of main event.
6. Also a computer would be provided for burning your program. Do bring your software and hardware to burn. Also bring your software on CD and not on any PEN DRIVE.
7. Regarding power supply, we will just provide 220V AC power supply.
Batteries, extension cords, solder and all other material related to robot must be brought by the participants.

Specifications
1. The Robot should be able to fit inside a cube of 30 * 30 * 30cm at the start of game
2. The Robot is not allowed to expand during the game play
3. There is no restriction on microprocessor and programming code used.
4. Lego kits are not allowed. However readymade gear assemblies and microcontroller kits are allowed.
5. There should be no use of any technology which harms the arena in any way. The robot should also not leave anything behind. Organizers reserve right to disqualify any robot on basis of harming the arena.

Rules
1. The robot should be able to move by itself on a given track, that is, it should be completely AUTONOMOUS.
(The total time to traverse the course is 150 seconds. Scheduled Time is 15 seconds per checkpoint.
2. Team Size: A team may be of maximum 4 participants. Participants from different institutions can form a team. Team member should have valid educational institute ID card.
3. There will be a trial run given to the participants before the start of the event. An extra time for calibrating values for sensors would also be given.
4. Once the timer clock of the main event starts you are not allowed to touch or control your robot.
5. Adapters/batteries should not exceed the ratings of 12V and 24W.
6. If your robot runs out of the track then you will be given another chance to fix your
Robot, but this fixation time cannot exceed 2 minutes. After 2 minutes if the team is unable to get back to arena, it would be marked disqualified. This second chance would be considered final and no further chances would be given.
7. In case of any dispute, the decision of organizers would be considered final.

Marking Scheme
1. The marking scheme is divided into two heads MARKS (A) and MARKS (B).
Total marks would be sum of MARKS (A) and MARKS (B)
Flags
Total Marks(A)
Checkpoint 1
25 marks
Checkpoint 2
25+50 = 75 marks
Checkpoint 3
75 + 100 = 175 marks
Special Checkpoint
250+75 = 325 marks
Checkpoint 4
175 + 200 = 375 marks
Checkpoint 5 (end)
375 + 250=625 marks (Checkpoint 3)
Checkpoint 5 (end)
325 + 200+250=775 marks (Special Checkpoint)

NOTE: In the race you have to travel either “special checkpoint” or “checkpoint 3”.Also for securing marks in higher checkpoint (e.g. Checkpoint 2) you have to traverse through the lower checkpoint (e.g. Checkpoint 1)

2. Now for securing maximum MARKS (B) you have to cover the track in minimum time.
Formula for Marks (B) = (Scheduled Time – Time Taken)*10{TO BE CALCULATED PER CHECKPOINT}

If you are unable to complete the track then you will get marks B according to time taken and scheduled time according to checkpoints you have covered.

For example your robot is unable to move after check point 2 and you took 15 seconds(5 for 1st checkpoint and 10 for 2nd checkpoint) to reach a distance up to checkpoint 2. Then your marks in marks (b) head are [(15-5)*10 + (15-10)*10] =150
3. The team with highest marks is the winner
