IEEE and SAE in association with TCIL-IT brings you the most awaited and thrilling event "ROBOWARS" in Goonj'12 to be held on 4-5th Feb 2012.
Yes, Here it is!!
Our own all-time-favorite - ROBOWARS.
So guys, pull up your socks and get ready to bang-bang with your bots. Come to "Goonj12" : the Annual Cultural-Technical-Literary fest of UIET because our Arena desperately waits you there!!
# PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Design and construct a remote controlled robot capable of fighting a one on one tournament.
a) SPECIFICATIONS:
1. The machine should fit in a box of dimension 450 mm x 300 mm x 300 mm (lxbxh) at any given point during the match. The external device used to control the machine or any external tank is not included in the size constraint.
2. The machine should not exceed 25 kg of weight including the weight of pneumatic source/tank . If the tank is external, its weight would be considered 1.5 times its actual weight. Weight of wireless robots and robots having on-board power supply will be counted as 0.6*Actual Weight. Weight of external power source (batteries and adaptors) and the remote controller will not be counted.
b) ROBOT CONTROL REQUIREMENTS:
1. The machine can be controlled wirelessly or with wires. Off board power supplies are allowed.
2. If the machine is wired then the wire should remain slack under all circumstances during the competition. All the wires coming out of the machine should be stacked as a single unit. The wires should be properly insulated.
3. If the machine is controlled wirelessly, the machine must at least have a two frequency remote control circuit which may be interchanged before the start of the race to avoid frequency interference with other teams.
4. Remote control systems from toys might be used. Remote control systems available in the market may also be used.
c) BATTERY & POWER:
1. The machine can be powered electrically only. Use of an IC engine in any form is not allowed. On board Batteries must be sealed, immobilized-electrolyte types (such as gel cells, lithium, NiCad, NiMH, or dry cells).
2. The electric voltage between 2 points anywhere in the machine should not be more than 24 V DC at any point of time. If a team is using AC voltage in any of its parts then the voltage should not exceed 24 V AC at any point of time as well.
3. If a team is using AC voltage then they will have to convert the AC voltage to DC voltage before using it on the machine and the voltage should not exceed 24 V between any two points on the machine at any point of time.
4. Use of damaged, non-leak proof batteries are not allowed.
5. Change of battery will not be allowed during the match.
d) PNEUMATICS:
1. Robot can use pressurized non-inflammable gases to actuate pneumatic devices. Maximum allowed outlet nozzle pressure is 5 bar.
2. The maximum pressure in cylinder should not exceed the rated pressure at any point of time.
e) HYDRAULICS:
1. Robot can use non-inflammable liquid to actuate hydraulic devices e.g. cylinders.
2. All hydraulic liquids are required to be non corrosive and your device should be leak proof. Maximum allowed pressure is 5 bars.
f) WEAPON SYSTEMS:
Robots can have any kind of magnetic weapons, cutters, flippers, saws, lifting devices, spinning hammers etc. as weapons with following exceptions and limitations:
- Liquid projectiles.
- Any kind of inflammable liquid.
- Flame-based weapons.
- Any kind of explosive or intentionally ignited solid or potentially ignitable solid.
- Nets, tape, glue, or any other entanglement device.
- High power magnets or electromagnets.
- Radio jamming, tazers, tesla coils, or any other high-voltage device.
- Tethered or un-tethered projectiles.
- Spinning weapons which do not come in contact with the arena at any point of time are allowed.
# RULES:
1.Maximum allowable team strength is 5 members. Students from different colleges can form a team.
2.Preference will be given to the robots using on-board batteries.
# CRITERIA FOR VICTORY:
1. A robot is declared victorious if its opponent is immobilized.
2. A robot is given more points, than just hitting and dragging, if it drags it's opponent into any one of the digs formed at two opposite corners of the arena before the competition is over.
3. In case, if no team is able to drag it's opponent within specified time, the winner will be chosen on the basis of aggressiveness, damage and like.
4. A robot will be declared immobile if it cannot display linear motion of at least one inch in a timed period of 30 seconds. A robot with one side of its drive train disabled will not be counted out if it can demonstrate some degree of controlled movement.
5. In case both the robots remain mobile after the end of the round then the winner will be decided subjectively.
6. 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.
7. Points will be given on the basis of aggression, damage, control and strategy. Misbehavior with the organizing team and judges will lead to direct disqualification. The final decision lies with the organizers. For more details & registrations, contact
