The team has to bring a prebuilt autonomous bot that can navigate through
the maze.
BOT SPECIFICATIONS

The dimensions of the bot should be less than or equal to 200 mm X
250 mm X 200 mm (l x w x h) failing which the team will be disqualified
from the competition. An error of (-5%) is permitted.

Components
Bot shouldn’t contain any Wireless Communication devices such
as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RF and ESP8266.
Bot can use any sensors, algorithms and actuators to solve and
navigate around the maze.
Power supply
The participants should use an on-board electric supply. the
power source should be on the bot itself. The power source must
be non-polluting and must satisfy the safety constraints
determined by the organizers. In the case of an electric power
supply, the voltage between any two points should be less than
or equal to 24V DC at all times during the run.

Maze Details
• Maze consists of an entry point and exit point needs to be
solved with some checkpoints.
• There will be only dead - end turns, 90 degree turns.
• Maze consists of checkpoints. Time taken to reach
checkpoints by bots are noted.
• If bot stops or gets stuck in maze penalty will be added
and reset from last checkpoint.
Calibration
10Mins are provided to calibrate and trial run for bot,
before entering the maze this step is optional. a separate
place will be given for calibration. If team takes time more
than 10Mins to calibrate penalty will be added.

Round 1:
The bot is placed on the “START” tile of the maze. The bot
needs to navigate through a given checkpoints in simple
maze and reach the finish line. Bots are shortlisted based
on solving maze and reaching checkpoints.
Max time limit for bot to solve the maze is 10 Mins.
Round 2:
Selected teams are allowed to place their bot on the
“START” tile of Maze 2, the bot has to navigate through the
easiest path and should reach the “FINISH” line. The bot
which takes the least time, number of checkpoints with
lowest number of penalty will be considered as winners.
Max time limit for bot to solve the maze is 10 Mins.

Certificate Policy:
● Winner and runner teams are given the prize the same day.
● All participants are mailed with an e-certificate of participation shortly after
