Inferno

1. Retrieving white cylinders kept at the extruded windows.
2. Retrieving black cylinders kept in the interior of the building and accessible from ‘Holes’ in the roof.
3. Putting off fire, represented by candles, that will be placed at various locations inside and outside the building. If and only if the candle is put out by using the water from the water tank provided, then it will signify ‘Putting off’ the fire.

1. The robot is free to save people from anywhere in the arena and allowed to climb up the building.
2. The Safe Zone is a rectangle marked in the arena. If the robot places the cylinders in this region, it gets a bonus of 50 points for every cylinder placed.
3. The robot has to put off the fire by squirting water on the candle.
4. The robot will be penalised for coming in contact with the candle.
5. If a robot tries to put off a fire by coming in contact, it will be penalised for touching the fire and the candle will be replaced in its original position.
6. The final position of the cylinders, at the end of the run, will be considered for scoring.
7. The participants should keep in mind that the arena might be wet due to the usage of water.
8. The bot must not cause any damage to the arena. In event of any damage, the team would be liable for disqualification.
9. Colour Code
   • Cylinders at windows : WHITE
   • Cylinders within building : BLACK
10. A maximum number of participants allowed per team: 4 people.
11. A maximum of two team members can control the robot simultaneously.
12. The participants will be provided with 220 Volts, 50Hz standard AC supply. Participants will have to themselves arrange for any other power supply required for their robot.
13. 220 V power supply can also be utilized to power the pumps for the suction mechanism.
14. Teams qualifying the first round will go into the second round and those qualifying the second round participate in the third round.
15. Teams cannot tinker with their bots in the arena.
16. The decision of the Robotix Team shall be final and binding.

1. Maximum dimension : 30*30*30 cm³
2. More than one bots are allowed, provided they fit into the above given dimensions, taken together, at the start of the run.
3. The dimensions mentioned are subject to a tolerance of 10 percent.
4. The robot will have to have it's own onboard water reservoir to carry water from the given reservoir to the fire.
5. The maximum potential difference that can be used to power the robot will be 30 V.For safety reasons, a 220 V supply will be allowed for pumps provided they are completely insulated.
6. You are advised to take all precautionary safety measures such as waterproofing, insulation to ensure that shocks, accidental fire due to short circuits etc. can be avoided. Bear in mind that water spilled from the reservoir and used by the bot will be on the arena during the run of your bot.
