LINE FOLLOWER EVENT

The objective of this contest is to complete the course in the shortest period of time, whileaccurately tracking the black course line from start to finish over the white base overcoming

the hurdles.

Robot Specifications:

Robots have to operate autonomously and should not be remote-controlled. ll

systems !like sensors, power supply, data-processing and control-systems" have to

completely reside on the robot.

# The machine should fit in a s$uare of si%e &'()&'( mm. There is no height

limit.

# The autonomous robot must be stable and must stand on its own at the

beginning of the run when put in the starting point. Robots not fulfilling this

criterion will be dis$ualified.

# The teams are allowed to use ready- made micro-controller boards*ready-made

sensor kits. +owever they are not allowed to use ego kits or any similar

assemblies.

ower supply and propulsion# achine must be completely self-contained and should receive no outside

assistance. /t should not use an energy source employing a combustion process.

# achine should have an on-board power supply. 0o e)ternal power supply is

allowed.

# 1oltage on the machine at any point should not e)ceed &(1 23.

0o limitation as such in the motors. The wheels used must be non-destructive to the

surface.

3ourse Specifications:


2/5

The line shall be black electrical tape while the base is white traversing the arena

from end to end.

There will be two rounds, elimination round !building the base" and final round

!achieving the goal". /n elimination round bot has to follow his path and shouldcomplete the round in less time.

The width of the black line is 4cm.

There shall be a starting area at the beginning of the course and an e)it area at the

end. The line course starts inside the starting area and ends inside the e)it area.

The line course may have one or more sharp right-angle and some acute and obtuse

angles.

The decisions of all officials regarding these rules and the conduct of the event shall

be final.

Rounds

articipant must complete two rounds to win the competition. 5ach round consists of

three checkpoints.

Rules and regulations:

Team may have a ma)imum of ? members.

5ach contesting team will be given 4 trails for adjustments to the sensors on test

arena.

The robot has to be developed and designed by the team itself. The usage of

commercially complete robotic-systems which are sold ready for the purpose of thecompetition is not allowed. t least the software-development should show

significant personal effort.

The time of any run is measured from the time the robot crosses the starting line until

the time it crosses the finish line. robot is deemed to have crossed the line when

the forward most wheel, track, or leg of the robot contacts or crosses over the line.

Timekeeping: Time shall be measured by an electronic gate system or by a judge

with a stopwatch, based on the availability of e$uipment. /n either case the recorded

time shall be final.

robot that wanders off of the arena surface will be dis$ualified.

osing the ine: any robot that loses the line course must reac$uire the line at the

point where it was lost, or at any earlier !e.g. already traversed" point.

3laims because of changing lighting conditions in the room or flash lights of

photographers won@t be accepted. articipants have to face these AdisturbancesA.

Budging 3riteria:
