    • Lord of the Rings

    OBJECTIVE:

    TO CONSTRUCT A MANUALLY CONTROLLED ROBOT THAT CAN LIFT THE RINGS AND PLACES IT OVER THE CYLINDRICAL POLES.


    Game play:
    The competition will consist of two rounds - qualifying round and final round.

    Qualifying round:
    In this round, the teams will have to place the rings on any of the cylindrical poles in either of the zones.
    • The maximum time given for the task is 3 minutes.
    • The team has the access to every ring in the arena except the golden rings.
    • A few teams will be qualified for the next round based on their scores.


    Final round:
    It will be a one on one competition. Top teams selected in the qualifying round will compete in this round.
  • The maximum time for the game play will be 5 minutes.
  • At the end of 5 minutes, the team with maximum score will be adjudged as the winner.
    Rules(both for Qualifying and Final Round):
    1. A maximum of three restarts will be given to a team. During a restart, the teams will have to restart their machine by placing them back in the starting zone.
    2. No penalty will be awarded for a restart.
    3. During a restart, if the machine carries any rings, then the rings will be taken back and will be placed back in their initial position.
    4. At no point of time, the teams must carry more than 1 ring.

    • ARENA:

    1. Starting zones for the Teams are as marked in the figure.
    2. The teams can begin at any of the starting zones for the qualifying round but in the final round the start position will be specified.
    3. The team should place the ring over the cylindrical rod.
    4. Points are assigned on the basis of the colour of the ring.
    5. The rings are initially placed on a cuboid platform of dimensions 5cm X 5cm X 7cm.
    6. The rings will be made of plywood of thickness 10 mm.
    7. The height of the pole will be 10 cm.

      8. Dimensions of the rings:
      Outer diameter of all the rings are same = 80mm.
      The inner hole diameter of the ring = D
      D = 15mm - Golden Ring
      D = 30mm - Sliver Ring
      D = 40mm - Bronze Ring

    Robot Specifications:

    BOT SPECIFICATIONS:

    1. Only one bot is allowed per team.
    2. Dimensions of the bot should not exceed 30cmX30cmX30cm. However the robot can expand once the event starts at any point of time.
    3. The bot can use on-board or external power supply.
    4. The voltage between any two points must not exceed 18V.
    5. The bot cannot be constructed using readymade Lego kits or any readymade mechanism. But readymade gear assemblies can be used.
    6. Bot can be wired or wireless controlled. In case wired the wire should remain slack throughout the game and the wire used to control the bot should be minimum of 4 meters in length.
    7. Bot should be controlled by only one person of the team.


    SCORING:
    TASK POINTS SCORED

    1. Golden ring 100
    2. Silver ring 75
    3. Bronze ring 50
    4. Finishing 100


      5. Total score = 100XG + 75XS + 50XB + F
      G = Number of Golden Rings
      S = Number of Sliver Rings
      B = Number of Bronze Rings
      F = 100 if finish line reached in time.

    General Rules:

    • A team may consist of a maximum of 3 members. Students from different colleges can form a team.
    • Only one member from the team is allowed to be near the game field while starting the bot.
    • The bot should not damage the arena in any case, or else it can lead to disqualification.
    • Team should report in time otherwise it can lead to disqualification.
    • Any bot not conforming to the specifications provided will be instantly disqualified.
    • The judge's decision would be final and binding. On any circumstance judge's decision is final and rules may be subject to change in case of situations uncalled for.
