An event in which a wired robot is made to perform tasks of lifting objects and placing them at different heights and spots as required. In the elimination rounds, the robot has to perform tasks and the time required is recorded. In further rounds head to head competitions will be held.
Problem Statement: Engineer a remote controlled wired robot capable of lifting objects from one location and placing them at the other required locations.

General rules:
1.Robot should be wired.

2.The dimensions of the robot should be within:-

Base(including wheels): (25cms x 25cms)

Minimum lifting height : 55cms

3.A single controller will control the same robot throughout the event. Swapping of robot or controller is not allowed.

4.Disassembly or breaking off of any part resulting in debris on the track will lead to disqualification of the machine. The decision regarding this will be at the sole discretion of the organizers.

5.Use of mechano sets and Lego sets is prohibited. The use of readymade gear assemblies and manufactured assemblies is not allowed.

6.At no point during the race should the connecting wires be taut. Failure to observe this constraint will lead to disqualification.

7.The judges’ decision shall be final and binding.

8.Judges reserve a right to call a retry depending on the merit of the situation.

9.Rules and regulations are subject to minor changes. Track details are subject to minor changes.

10.The participants are requested to bring their own power supplies and related equipments. They will be responsible for their own equipment.

Event specific rules:

2.In case the object falls off the pillars due to the robot not placing the object correctly at the required location, the volunteers will place the object back to its initial position and the task has to be repeated.

A 3d model of the cube(object) will be put up soon.
