Formula Zero (Mech Bot Racing Contest)

Direction is more important than speed. We are so busy looking at our speedometers that we forget the milestone.

Arena Specification

• The track will be 25m long & 0.5m wide. The path will consist of a number of hurdles such as crazy paving, pool, marbles, curves and elevated surface. Finally, through a labyrinth of gateways the destination will be waiting for your arrival.

Machine Specification

• The machine must fit into a box of size 30 x 30 x 30 cc (l x b x h).
• The external wired/wireless remote control used to control the machine manually is not included in this size constraint.
• If the machine uses an externally placed power supply, the dimensions of the power supply are not included in the size constraint. However, in case of an onboard power supply, the machine along with the power supply should follow the rule mentioned in 1.
• The judges hold the right to subjectively determine if the machine violates any clause.
• Machine cannot be constructed using readymade Lego kits or any readymade mechanism. Violating this clause will lead to the disqualification of the machine.

Power supply and Control mechanism

• The machine can use an externally placed or on-board electric or non-electric power supply.
• In case of an electric power supply, the voltage at any point on the machine must be lower than or equal to 24V at any point of time during the game.
• The organizers will provide a standard single phase, 230V, 50 Hz AC power supply. Any extension cords, eliminators, adaptors etc required will have to be arranged by participants themselves.
• The machine has to be necessarily controlled by some wired/ wireless remote control mechanism at all stages of the game.
• In case of wireless mechanism, to avoid frequency interference between the competing machines, each machine must have two remote control circuits (or a dual frequency remote control circuit) which can be switched to either frequency before the start of the game.
• In case of wired mechanism, the wire must be slack for the duration of the game. The total length of wire extending from the remote control to the machine must be a minimum of 5 meters. The participants have the right to ensure that the wire does not get entangled with the opponent’s machine during the game.

General Rules

• The teams must adhere to the spirit of healthy competition. The teams must not damage the opponent's machine in any way. Judges reserve the right to disqualify any team indulging in misbehavior.
• The organizers reserve all rights to change any or all of the above rules as they deem fit. Change in rules, if any will be highlighted on the website.
• Registration Fee - Rs.200/- per team
