● Each team must complete the course by carrying the following loads sequentially. The
team will have to start by completing the course using 125 grams, then followed by 250
grams, and so on.
 After finishing the course with a weight, the team can decide whether to
attempt the course with a heavier weight by considering scoring
Let W be the weight of the payload used in the given attempt
After a failed attempt, the team cannot proceed with heavier weights in this
round Scoring for this round will be -
If the course has been successfully completed, then -
Score2 (current) = Score2 (Previous) + W * 10 -t

If the Course for the given weight could not be completed, then the score would
be - Score2 (final) = Score2 (Previous) / W

Round - 3 (Finals):

The top 5 teams will be selected to participate in this round

A maximum of 2 attempts will be allowed. The best score will be selected
In this round, teams will have to drop the payload at a given location told to them

dual control circuits which may be interchanged before the start of the match to
avoid frequency interference with other teams.
In case of any interference in the wireless systems there will not be any rematch
or stoppage.
Team should pair up the wireless remote with the machine before putting it into
the arena.
Nonstandard or self-made remote-control systems must first be approved by the
organizers.
Remote control systems from toys might be used. Remote control systems
available in the market may also be used.
All robots should be having failsafe for the radio; i.e. in case of loss of radio signal
the robot should immediately stop all the drive and weapon system
 It is recommended to install a Kill Switch or Power Link system to be able to disconnect
battery immediately in case of any emergency.

2.5 Weapon system:

The robots can have any kind of weapon system i.e. wedge; spinners; flippers; cutters;
electric or pneumatic lifters; etc.; except for following:
Weapons causing invisible or internal damage like Radio jamming, tasers, tesla coils, or
any other high-voltage device&
Any kind of Tethered or un-tethered projectiles and hammer or thwack bots are not
allowed.:
Flame based and inflammable liquid-based weapons and lasers are not allowed.:
Weapons used for entangling other bots like nets, cables, glue etc. not allowed. In
case used entangler will be disqualified.:
Any kind of explosive or intentionally ignited solid or potentially ignitable solid.
Usage of IC engines, Hydraulic and other flammable devices are not allowed.:
Any innovative weapon is always appreciated however the source of powering
and impact caused should be clearly mentioned in Abstract; any surprises will cause
disqualification.

Care should be taken that no weapon causes any sort of intentional damage to the
arena; if seen intentionally damaging the arena may lead to disqualification.

2.5.1 Pneumatic Systems:

The Robots are allowed to use pneumatic system for powering their weapons under
following conditions
The pneumatic tank should be on board and gases used for pneumatic should be
nonflammable and non-toxic.:
The tank should be attached with a pressure gauge and maximum pressure in the tank
should not cross 50 Bars under any circumstances; On board pressure gauge should be
provided.:
The actuating pressure in the pneumatic actuator should not cross 10 Bars and pressure
valve should be present to adjust actuating pressure.:
All the pneumatic components should be certified and safety and security letters should
be produced to the organisers.

2.6 Battery & Power:

The machine can be powered electrically only.
Use of an IC engine in any form is not allowed
On board Batteries must be adequately protected within the body shell and
securely fixed to minimise the chance of being punctured or coming loose during
combat; which will be checked in technical inspection.:
The electrical voltage at any point of time in the machine should not exceed 30V
DC. Robots using higher voltage will not be allowed to play the match.
 230 V AC source will be provided; for charging of the batteries after the match All
wiring and terminals must be of a suitable size and secured to prevent chaffing and
shorting."
All terminals should be covered to minimise the risk of electrical shorts. Failure to
do so will cause direct disqualification. (Also checked in technical inspection)
TEAM SPECIFICATION:
Any team can participate in Robowars. A team may consist of a maximum of 5
participants. The participation is open to all. No person is allowed to register for two
different teams
Team Name:
Every team must have a name which must be unique. Organizers must be notified
during if a Team's name has been changed.
Team Representative:
Each team must specify their Team Representative (Leader) at the time of
registration on the website. All the important communications between organizers
and the registered teams will be done through their Team Representative. The
Team Representatives must submit valid contact details (phone no., email ID etc.)
at the time of registration
During match hours no person can help the other team for controlling bots Each
team needs to submit the Controller name before each match.
·CERTIFICATION POLICY:
Certificate of Excellence will be given to all the winners. Certificate of participation
will be given to all the participants. The teams which get disqualified due to
disobeying any of the competition rules will not be considered for the certificate.
*It is Mandatory to wear Shoes by each and every team member for the purpose of
safety. Care should be taken while handling the bots. Any kind of causality should
be reported quickly to the organizer, so that first-Aid can be given immediately.
Members without shoes will not be allowed to enter the arena nor allowed to stand
near the control station.
ROUNDS
3.1 TECHNICAL INSPECTION:
In this coordinator will check the robot for all technical rules as stated above and
will PASS the robot if all the rules are abided, if robot fails to do so, necessary
changes have to be done in order to participate in the robot else may lead to
disqualification. (All rules under section 2 should be abided).
3.2 MATCH & GAMEPLAY:
All matches will be death match of 3 minutes. Only 3 participants will be allowed
to stay near the control station.
No Hand touches will be allowed in between the match; and the match won’t be
stopped.
Only if two Combots are stuck to each other and hence immobile, in such case
Combots will be separated by safest means and the match will be continued for
remaining time and position of the robots will be maintained.
A robot will be declared victorious on the basis of criteria stated in section 4.4 and
will be decided by the Judges.
Decision of the Judges will be considered final and no team can object or quarrel
on the decision, failure to do so may cause disqualification.
All robots will be given at least 30minutes of break after each match. Time is
calculated from the time the robot leaves arena. If the robot fails to return to the
arena when called after the allotted time; the robot may be forced to forfeit.
3.3 Criteria for Victor:
A robot is declared victorious by knockout if its opponent is immobilized or thrown
outside the playing area.
A robot will be declared immobile if it cannot display linear motion of at least one foot in a
timed period of 15 seconds. A bot with one side of its drivetrain disabled will not be
counted out if it can demonstrate some degree of controlled movement. In case both the
robots remain mobile after the end of the round then the winner will be decided
subjectively by the judges.
A robot that is deemed unsafe by the judges after the match has begun will be
disqualified and therefore declared the loser. The match will be immediately halted and
the opponent will be awarded a win
Robots cannot win by pinning or lifting their opponents. Organizers will allow pinning or
lifting for a maximum of 10 seconds per pin then the attacker robot will be instructed to
release the opponent. If, after being instructed to do so, the attacker is able to release
but does not, their robot may be disqualified. If robots become entangled due to a
crushing or gripping or any other weapon is employed and becomes trapped within
another robot, then the competitors should make the timekeeper aware, the fight should
be stopped and the robots separated by the safest means.
Points will be given on the basis of aggression, damage, control and strategy
1.Aggression – Aggression is judged by the frequency, severity, boldness and
effectiveness of attacks deliberately initiated by the robot against its opponent. If a robot
appears to have accidentally attacked an opponent, that act will not be considered
Aggression.
2. Control – Control means a robot is able to attack an opponent at its weakest point, use its
weapons in the most effective way, and minimize the damage caused by the opponent or its
weapons.
'3.Damage – Through deliberate action, a robot either directly or indirectly reduces the
functionality, effectiveness or defensibility of an opponent. Damage is not considered
relevant if a robot inadvertently harms itself. Also, if a rapidly spinning device on a
robot fragments, any damage to the opponent will not be considered "deliberate".$
4.Strategy – The robot exhibits a combat plan that exploits the robot's strengths
against the weaknesses of its opponent. Strategy is also defined as a robot exhibiting
a deliberate defence plan that guards its weaknesses against the strengths of the
opponent.

In case the match is stopped by a participant due to malfunctioning of combot, the

stoppage will be considered as a forfeit from the match and opponent will be
declared victorious

3.4 Event specific Terminologie:

Disabled –A robot is not functioning correctly due to either an internal
malfunction, or contact with the opposing robot or Arena Hazard.
Disqualification – A Robot is no longer permitted to compete in the current
Robowars Tournament.
Immobilized – In Judge's opinion, a robot is not responsive for a specified period
of time.
Knockout – Occurs when the attack or deliberate actions of one robot causes its
opponent to become immobilized or thrown outside the playing aren)
Lifting – Occurs when one robot controls an opponent's translational motion by
lifting the drive mechanism of the opponent off of the Arena floor.
No Contact – Occurs when neither robot makes contact with each other for a
specified period of time.
Pinning – Occurs when one robot, through sheer force, holds an opponent
stationary in order to immobilize it.
Radio Interference – Refers to the situation where at least one robot becomes
nonResponsive or noncontrollable due to the effect of the other robot's remote-
control signal.
Non-Responsive – In a Referee's opinion, the robot cannot display some kind of
controlled translational movement along the Arena floor.
Restart – Occurs after a Fault or a Timeout has been declared and the competing
robots are ready to continue.
Stuck – A robot is hung-up on a part of the Arena, an Arena Hazard or an
opponent, such that it is effectively non-responsive.
Tap-Out – Occurs when a Robot's Operators decide that they no longer want to
continue the Match, and concede the win to the opposing Team.
Timeout – A temporary halting of a Match. Timeouts are usually called to
separate robots, but can be called for other reasons as well.
 Technical Knockout – Occurs when a robot wins due to immobilization of its opponent
even though, in the Judges' opinion, no action of the winning robot caused the
opponent's immobilization.

NOTE:
If a team has more than one robot they should have separate parts of each robot. If a
team has similar designed robots then there should be a way to distinguish the bots
through the entire event.
