PART-1
EVENT ORGENIZER:
RISC-LPU
ROBOTICS AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEM COMMUNITY is a community directed by
students of LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY. It works for students by the student
under the aegis of DIVISION OF STUDENT AFFAIRS.
We work on various innovative projects which will bestows creative minds thinking patterns to
the upcoming future engineer/scientist so that our mind can boost enough so that we can face any
hurdles in the way of learning new tactics to deal with ever changing or dynamic technology.
Also we hope, it is our soul duty to work on those projects which will make our university
technically advanced and prepare our country well enough to compete with other established
high tech countries & also the emerging countries which are technically very sound. We are
technically far behind in compare to those technically advanced countries.

ABOUT THE EVENT:

ELECTRIC-SOLAR VEHICLE CHAMPIONSHIP is the competition to design and

fabricate a single seated vehicle which is operated by motor; it can be AC or DC. Where power
source will be battery as well as solar panel.
The purpose of the event is to build up interest towards Mechatronics projects, and enhance
theoretical as well as practical knowledge of under graduate student along with management and
team work.
Our aim is to reduce the usage of organic fuel powered vehicle and design environment friendly
electric power vehicle.
The competition having a challenging cost limitation maximum 60,000 -/ Rs. And competition
also restricted weight of vehicle; it should be maximum 150 Kg without driver.

Complete design of vehicle: complete cad model must be provided in front of judges
during the presentation.
Design reports: Design report should have contained all the technical specification and
at least 4 view of the vehicle. Report must be in IEEE format.
Cost Report: The cost report should be on the basis of market survey based and dont
exceed 60,000 -/
DFMEA: Design failure mode and effect analysis is a step by step representation of
mode of failure during manufacturing and assembly process. And analysis the effect or
cause of error which will effect on efficiency and potential of the vehicle.
DVP: Design Validation Plane is the assurance of the vehicle service, which meets the
customer satisfaction. It also involves the acceptance, reliability, durability and suitability
with external customer. All the virtual and test during implementation and analysis are to
be included.
Gantt chart: Gantt chart includes all the process during manufacturing of vehicle from
starting date to final date. This chart is basically the management of the project and
distribution of different tasks in the team members with completion deadlines.

DYNAMIC ROUND:
All team will pass through the Technical inspection and Brake test. After qualifying of both test
team will permitted for rest of event. All team should have hard copy of their design report,

Brake test Acceleration: Brake test is mandatory to pass, without passing this test
vehicle will not allow for the rest of the event. Each vehicle will be given 4 attempts to
pass the brake test. But in case if the vehicle passes the test in first attempt it will not be
given any other trials.
Along with brake test, Acceleration determines the time it takes the vehicle to accelerate
along 100 ft. Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different drivers. Scoring will
be based on the better of the two attempts.
Night Riders: The aim of this test to check the ability of vehicle on halogen light on
solar panel at night time.
Layout: Teams are requiring design mechanism, which directly work on solar panel. In
which we will remove batteries and all the vehicle will run under the halogen lights.

NOTE: Each team Scoring will be based on the efficiency. Timing may be done using either
electronic systems or stop watches.
Scoring Formula- Night Riders = 45x [(T maxTyours)/ (TmaxTshortest)]

Auto cross: The aim of this test to measure the ability of vehicle Manoeuvrability and
handling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing vehicles. Auto cross
combine the feature the braking, acceleration and cornering ability of the vehicle.
Each team may make two attempts but with different drivers. Scoring will be based on the
better of the two attempts. Timing may be done using either electronic systems or stop
watches.
Scoring Formula- Autocross score = 150x [(MAXIMUM TIME YOUS TIME)
PenaltiesCones Down Or Out- Two seconds per cone, including any after the finish line.
Driver must re-enter the track at or prior to the missed gate or a twenty (20) second penalty
will be assessed. Penalties will not be assessed for accident avoidance or other reasons
deemed sufficient by the track officials.

Innovation: The innovation done in vehicle which is most effective and necessary in
manufacturing / transmission/electrical / or in other form will be awarded point on the basis
of effectiveness of innovation. Judges can ask question regarding innovation from any team
member.
Light Weight: As we will provide same battery and motor to every team, but team has to
make the lightest possible weight with given specification.
Scoring Formula: 100 [HEAVIEST VEHICLE YOURS VEHICLE WEIGHT]
Endurance Test: The Propose of this test to measure the efficiency and
performance of the vehicle. The Vehicle would be drained with the previous charge
and would be allowed to charge for 30 min. In this amount of charge the vehicle which
travels the maximum distance wins. The maximum and the minimum would be marked
as a standard and all other Vehicle would be given marks relatively. Single attempt is only
allowed.
