General Construction
1) The fitting of interchangeable body panels or alternative weaponry is
allowed before each round and must be retained till the end of the round.
2) During finals, any on-board equipment that could require attention
between duels for maintenance - e.g. recharging of compressed gas
cylinders, charging batteries, resetting of weapons, etc. should be easily
and quickly accessible i.e. systems must be installed in such a manner that
they can be removed for filling and testing within five minutes.
Style
All robots must have easy visibility and controlled mobility in order to compete.
Methods of mobility include:
1) Rolling (wheels, tracks or the whole robot).
2) Non-wheeled robots having no rolling elements in contact with the floor
and no continuous rolling or cam operated motion in contact with the floor,
either directly or via a linkage. Motion is "continuous" if continuous
operation of the drive motor(s) produces continuous motion of the robot.
3) Linear-actuated legs and novel non-wheeled drive systems come under
this category.
4) Jumping, hopping and flying (using airfoil, helium balloons, ornithopters,
etc.) is not allowed.
Dimensions and Fabrications
1) The machine should fit in a box of dimension 40x40x40 cub. cm at the
starting of the match.
2) The machine should not exceed 20kg including the weight of pneumatic
source/tank.
3) Weight of adaptors, battery and the remote control will not be counted.
4) Any machine component should not be detached (intentionally) during any
point of the war.
5) Readymade gear boxes, control circuits and remote control can be used.
Wiring Control Requirements
The machine can be controlled through wired or wireless controls.
1) The remote to be used should have a minimum four frequency control
circuit or two dual control circuits or a transmitter receiver paired module
so that the frequency interferences with opponent team can be avoided (in
case of any interference in the wireless systems, they will not be
considered for rematch).
32
2) Non-standard or self-made remote control systems must first be approved
by the organizers.
3) In case of wired bots, the wires should remain slack at any instant during
the fight. All the wires coming out of the machine should be stacked as a
single unit. Also, the wires should be projected 500mm above the ground
to avoid entanglement.
Battery and Power
1) The machine can be powered electrically. Use of batteries is also allowed.
2) Power supply has to be on-board.
3) Batteries must be sealed, immobilized electrolyte types (such as gel cells,
lithium, NiCad or dry cells).
4) The electrical voltage at any point of time in the machine should not exceed
36V DC.
5) All efforts must be made to protect battery terminals from a direct short
and causing a battery fire, failure to do so will cause direct disqualification.
6) Use of damaged, non-leak proof batteries may lead to disqualification.
7) Change of battery will not be allowed during the match (exemption can be
made in case of battery damage).
8) It is suggested to have extra battery ready and charged up during
competition so that on advancing to next level, you don't have to wait or
suffer due to uncharged battery. If teams don't show up on allotted slot,
they will be disqualified.
9) Use of IC engine in any form is not allowed.
Safety
1) Compliance with all event rules is mandatory. It is expected that
competitors stay within the rules and procedures of their own accord and
do not require constant policing.
2) The machine will be checked for its safety before the competition and the
team will be disqualified if their machine is found unsafe.
3) Participants are expected to abide by the rules & should co-operate with
the organizers.
4) If you have a robot or weapon design that does not fit within the categories
set forth in these rules or is in some way ambiguous or borderline, please
contact the event organizers. Safe innovation is always encouraged, but
surprising the event staff with your brilliant exploitation of a loophole may
cause your robot to be disqualified before it even competes.
5) All participants will build and operate robots at their own risk. Combat
robotics is inherently dangerous. There is no amount of regulation that can
encompass all the dangers involved. Please take care to not hurt yourself or
others when building, testing and competing.
33
Pneumatics and Hydraulics
1) Participants can use pneumatic and hydraulic weapon systems but use of
external pressure/ liquid cylinders are not allowed. Cylinders should be
placed on the bots.
2) The outlet pressure of the source/tank should not exceed 10 bars.
3) Robots can use pressurized, non-inflammable gases/liquid to initialize
their pneumatic mechanisms.
4) The used pressure should be indicated by means of temporarily fitted
pressure gauge or there should be a provision to measure the cylinder
pressure on the bot.
5) The storage tank and pressure regulators used by teams are needed to be
certified and teams using pneumatics are required to produce the Safety
and Security letters at the Registration Desk on the venue. Failing to do so
will lead to direct disqualification.
6) You must have a safe way of refilling the system and determining the on
board pressure.
7) All pneumatic components boarded on a robot must be securely mounted.
Particular attention must be made to pressure vessel mounting and armor
to ensure that if ruptured it will not escape the robot. The terms 'pressure
vessel, bottle, and source tank' are used interchangeably.
Weapon System
Robots can have any kind of cutters, flippers, saws, lifting devices, spinning
hammers etc. as weapons with following exceptions and limitations:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
Liquid projectiles.
Any kind of inflammable liquid.
Flame-based weapons.
Any kind of explosive or intentionally ignited solid or potentially ignitable
solid.
Nets, tape, glue, or any other entanglement device.
High power magnets or electromagnets.
Radio jamming, lasers, tesla coils, or any other high-voltage device.
Tethered or un-tethered projectiles.
Spinning weapons which do not come in contact with the arena at any point of
time are allowed. In no case should the arena be damaged by any bot.
34
Team Specification
Any team can participate in Robo wars. A team may consist of a maximum of 5
participants. But during the match no participant is allowed in the arena of the
fight.
Team Name
Every team must have a unique name. Organizers reserve the right to reject
entries from any Team whose name it deems inappropriate, offensive or
conflicting. Organizers must be informed if a team changes its name.
Team Representative
Each team must specify their team representative (Leader) at the time of
registration on the website who will communicate with the organizers. She/he
must submit valid contact details (phone no., email ID etc.) at the time of
registration.
Judging Criteria
1) A robot is declared victorious if its opponent is immobilized.
2) A robot will be declared immobile if it cannot display linear motion of at
least one inch in a time period of 30 seconds. A bot with one side of its
drive train disabled will not be counted out if it can demonstrate some
degrees of controlled movement. In case, both the robots remain mobile
after the end of the round then the winner will be decided subjectively.
3) A robot that is deemed unsafe by the judges after the match has begun will
be disqualified and therefore, declared the loser. The match will be stop
there and the opponent will be awarded a win.
4) If a robot is thrown out of the arena the match will stop immediately, and
the robot which survives inside the arena will automatically be declared as
the victor.
5) Robots cannot win by pinning or lifting their opponents. Organizers will
allow pinning or lifting for a maximum of 20 seconds per pin / lift; then the
attacker robot will be instructed to release the opponent. If after being
instructed to do so, the attacker is able to release but does not, their robot
may be disqualified. If two or more robots become entangled or a crushing
or gripping weapon is employed and becomes trapped within another
robot, then the competitors should make the timekeeper aware. The fight
should be stopped and the robots should be separated by the safest means.
6) Points will be given on the basis of aggression, damage, control and
strategy. Aggression is judged by the frequency, severity, boldness and
effectiveness of attacks deliberately initiated by the robot against its
opponent. If a robot appears to have accidentally attacked an opponent
that act will not be considered aggression. Control means a robot is able to
35
attack an opponent at its weakest point, use its weapons in the most
effective way and minimize the damage caused by the opponent or its
weapons. Damage is not considered relevant if a robot inadvertently harms
itself. Also, if a pressure vessel or a rapidly spinning device on a robot
fragments, any damage to the opponent will not be considered "deliberate"
strategy. Strategy is also defined as a robot exhibiting a deliberate defense
plan that guards its weakness against the strength of the opponent.
7) Points will be given on the basis of assembling skills used in designing and
making a robot.

When worded as a proposition of policy, the topic requires the affirmative to
support some specified action by some particular individual or group. The
affirmative has the right to make any reasonable definition of each of the
proposition. If the negative challenges the reasonableness of a definition by the
affirmative, the judge must accept the definition of the speaker that shows
better grounds for its interpretation of the term.
He who asserts must prove. In order to establish an assertion, the speaker must
support it with enough evidence and logic. Facts must be accurate. Visual
materials are permissible. Only during their 3 min speech presentations are
speakers allowed to use PowerPoint slides. The PPT slides can contain only
images and graphical representations (no text).
In the questioning period, the questioner may ask any fair, clear question that
has a direct bearing on the debate. The questioner may use the period to build
up any part of his own case, to tear down any part of his opposition’s position
on a certain issue. The questioner must confine himself to questions and not
make statements, comments, or ask rhetorical questions.
Each speaker is questioned as soon as he/she concludes his speech. The speaker
must answer the questions without consulting his fellow speaker. The speakers
will be judged on team effort.
The judge must base his decision entirely on the material presented. Any gains
made outside of the established procedure are disallowed.
