ARENA DESCRIPTION
Introduction:-
Prepare two bots, one autonomous and one manual bot. The manual bot have to reach finish zone by avoiding various obstructions during successive checkpoints. Autonomous bot have to follow the white line to four rooms where bot have to extinguish the burning candle(s).
Arena Description: There will be two teams competing for finish zone i.e. RED team and BLUE team. The arena is divided in two parts
1: Manual zone
2: Automatic zone
Main Arena:-
Manual arena:-
Manual arena has 3checkpoints.
Starting zone.
The starting position of manual bot is shown in figure 1.
The bot have to start from the starting position (see in fig 1) and move towards checkpoint 1.
For completing this task bot have to go through the Seesaw Bridge (i.e. as you move forward on bridge it will turn downwards to other side). Angle of the bridge is 15 degree.
Once you successfully cross the bridge the gate of safe room (room where the automatic bot is placed initially) will automatically open, and your automatic bot should start its mission.
After crossing the bridge you have to move towards checkpoint 1.
SPIKE ZONE.
After successfully reaching at checkpoint 1 bot has to move towards checkpoint2 avoiding the spokes that are popping out from the wall at regular intervals.
There will be penalty if your bot touch any of the spokes (see rules & regulations).
Checkpoint 2 is a lift to the main arena.
The lift will be moving up and down at regular intervals of 10-15 secs.
BLOCK ZONE.
|
After the bot make it to the lift it should be ready for the block zone. In this zone bot is supposed to put the three blocks in their respective pit areas(i.e block marked with N should be in placed in pit marked N).
The block should be completely inside the pit, no part should be on the main arena.
The blocks are cube of 15cm & made up of thermocol.
After successfully placing all blocks in pit areas bot should move towards checkpoint 3.
|
COMBAT ZONE.
|
After reaching checkpoint3 your bot should ready to enter combat zone. The gates of combat zone will be opened in last 1 min of the game. So we are expecting that bot should be ready to enter in combat zone in last 60 secs.
Combat zone is the only zone where the bots of both team can touch each other.
In this zone both bot can fight for the bridge which will lead them to FINAL DESTINATION(the manual bot?s goal).
This bridge is also a seesaw bridge.
The bot who reaches the final destination first will get the points for the goal.
|
AUTOMATIC ARENA
 |
The 3d view of automatic zone is shown in fig.
Manual bot is not allowed to enter in this zone. This may lead immediate disqualification (if intrusion seems intentionally).
Once the manual bot had cross the seesaw bridge in starting zone the door of safe room will be automatically opened.
After the door is opened your autonomous bot can follow the WHITE line on BLACK surface(but it is not necessary to follow).
Width of white line is 3cm.
Main task of automatic bot is to search for the candles and extinguish them.
There are four rooms and candle(s) are placed in any of the rooms (position of candles will be disclosed on the spot).
Position of candles will be same for both teams.
Candle is mounted on a stand but the height of flame from ground level is between 15-20 cm. The candle is placed in a square of white line (see fig).
The fire extinguishing mechanism should be activated only when there is candle.
The bot cannot touch the candle ,this may lead to high penalty.
Wrong use of fire extinguishing mechanism may lead to high penalty (see scoring criteria).
Once bot successfully traverse all four rooms it is suppose to stop in finish area.
The bot has to indicate the candle by red led.
Autonomous bot must have a fire extinguishing mechanism and this mechanism should be activated after the bot has indicated candle with red led.
