Note: (Except for Robo War)

Once turned on, the robot must be self-controlled without any human intervention.
Contestants are NOT allowed to touch their robots or enter the Contest Arena after startup.
After the blow of whistle, the robot will have max 5 minutes to complete the task. During a
retry the layout of the arena shall remain SAME however the point scoring will restart from
zero. Displacing any item inside the arena will result in a retry. If the participating team sees
that their robot has lost track of its location and is facing trouble localizing itself, the team can
ask for a retry. During its motion, the robot may touch the walls of the arena without damaging

them. In case of a tie, the contestant may be required to run a rematch on the discretion of the
judges. For a match, both teams will face the same layout of the arena, i.e. the same type,
location and orientation of its starting point. Winner will be decided by our judges based on
overall performance.

• Any team that damages the arena will be disqualified.

• The robot must not use any harmful substances such as oil, petrol etc. in its operation
that can damage the arena.
• The robot must not use any destructive or dangerous methods to displace any obstacle
or box.

Test Run

Contestants will be given time for trial run half hour before the contest to calibrate their
robot/sensors on the actual arenas
