“One man's constant is another man's variable” Alan J. Perlis
If your statement ends with a semi colon (;) instead of a full stop (.) then it is a right place for you. The never ending era of automation introduces a completely autonomous maze solving event. Autonomous machines are the systems that are free from fatigue, and that can adapt, learn from their experience and can make decisions. Bring out the dexterity in you to make your bot follow your commands and let him follow the line maze to reach the blaze. Make the wrong turns and detours to find the correct path, as that is the way nature meant it to be for both humans as well as machines.
The bot has to follow the black line on white background.
The candle should be blown out without dropping it.
The participants may program the bot to accelerate on the straight paths.
The participants will get 3 tries to complete the task.
They can modify their bots after 1st or 2nd try if not successful in 1st try.
Participants are not allowed to touch their robots once the bot starts.
If the machine remains immobile for respectable time[around 15 seconds] then on the spot decision will be taken by the Core Committee.
The decision of the Core Committee shall be considered as final and indisputable.
Any team involved in any type of argument with the judges will be disqualified.
The Core Committee reserve the rights to disqualify any team indulging in any kind of misbehaviour.
Safe innovations are always encouraged but if that leads to any loophole in any of the above rules then they will be disqualified.
The Core Committee has the right to change any of the rules at any time. The changes will be highlighted on website and conveyed to registered participants well in advance
The bot must be wireless and strictly autonomous.
Dimensions of the bot should be less than 20cm*20cm*20cm ( l x b x h ).
The bot must pass through all the deviations that come in its way.
A power supply should be of maximum 24V DC.
If any bot is out of the track for 15secs it is considered as disqualified.
The participants have to ensure that room lighting, photography, etc. does not affect the functioning of the sensors.
Any extinguishing mechanism (flapping, blower, etc) can be used in the final round but it should not be detachable and must be autonomous.
The autonomous bot must not split into two or more units.
Bot cannot be constructed using readymade Lego kits or any readymade mechanism. But, they can make use of readymade gear assemblies. Violating this clause will lead to disqualification of the team.
In case of tie, the design of the bot may be considered.
