The objective is to
design an autonomous robot which is capable of moving the blocks of a specific
color into the pot holes on a pool table. The blocks will actually be light
weight cubes which can be pushed to move them into the pots. The team that
gathers maximum points wins.
The arena is a 2m x 2m square board with holes of radius 30 cm on
each of the four corners. The following figure (not to scale) gives a rough
idea of the structure of the arena.
Starting
Point
8 cm
200 cm
30 cm
The blocks are cubes of side 8cm.
Starting point is as shown in the figure.
The table color is green.
The pots on the corners are black in
color.
The cubes are of blue and red colors
(3 each).
The robot should fit in a box of dimensions 15cm
x 15cm x 15cm.
An overhead camera will be provided.
Tasks:
There will be
cubes of two different colors, 3 of each color. These will be placed randomly
all over the arena.
A team has to
chose one color and pot all the cubes of that color.
A time Slot of 10
min will be given for each round.
Rules:
A robot cannot
touch the cubes of the other color.
The actual
colors on the arena may be slightly different from the ones specified,
depending on availability and texture of materials.
The participants
are not allowed to lift the cubes off the arena.
The robot should
be strictly autonomous.
Once the round
begins, the team players are not allowed to make any contact with their robots
or the programming interfaces.
Damage to the
arena will lead to disqualification from Event.
All decisions
made by the judges will be final and any arguments in any case won’t be
entertained.
Time Out Rules
will be provided at the time of competition.
Judging Criteria:
100 points will be awarded for potting 1 cube successfully (of course, of
the chosen color).
A penalty of 50 points will be imposed if the robot touches the cubes of
the other color.
Once the robot successfully accomplishes the task, the number of seconds
remaining from the total time of 10 minutes will be added to the total points
of the team. (e.g. if a team completes the task in 8 minutes, 120 points will
be added to the total points of the team).
