+Problem Statement

It gets pretty closer to what you must have seen in movies related to Army, wherein soldiers are made to perform various climbing tasks as a part of training activity.
The only difference here is you will be building a manually controlled robot capable of climbing and descending a metallic mesh in the similar fashion like a soldier.
Sounds cool right???

+Robot Specification

  1. Robot has to be in the form of manually controlled machine capable of ascending and descending a mesh subject to given constraints/conditions.
  2. Before the start of the run, robot has to fit inside a cube of dimension 35*25*25 cm completely. Dimensions can be exceeded after the run has been started.
  3. The robot has to start from ground. The distance of starting point will be 45 cm from the starting of the mesh segment.
  4. The material used for the mesh is HB grade steel. It does not exhibit strong magnetic properties. Hence, the use of magnets is not advisable.
  5. Use of lego kits is strictly prohibited.
  6. In case of radio-controlled robots, The ROBOTIX Team will not be responsible for any interference. Participants have to tune in to the suitable frequency on their own.
  7. Wires (if any) connecting the robot to the control system should remain slack throughout the run. Any violation, even unintentional, will lead to disqualification.

+Arena Specification

  1. The figures are samples given for better comprehension. Actual arena inclinations may vary.
  2. The minimum inclination of any mesh segment from the horizontal will be 25 degrees.
    Please note that the maximum angle of the segment can be upto 90 degrees i.e. vertical.
  3. The dimensions of the mesh will be as follows:
    Arrow A: Diameter of the wire = 4.5 mm
    Arrow B: Inner Vertical Side = 75 ± 2 mm
    Arrow C: Inner Horizontal Side = 70 ± 2 mm


  1. While descending, the robot shall have to stop in a 40cm*40cm demarcated area. Time will be stopped when the robot enters this zone completely. This square could be on a downward incline, and not necessarily a flat portion.
  2. Each portion of the mesh shall be supported by metal stands.
  3. The mesh shall be rigid. There shall be no intentional bending due to weight of the robot.
  4. The track will not necessitate any lateral movement for the robot. However, participants have to ensure that robot lies inside the 40*40 cm square mentioned above for time to stop.
  5. Use of Lego kits and complete car bases is strictly not allowed.
  6. Ready-made gear boxes are allowed.

+General Specification
  1. Any damage to the arena shall straightaway lead to disqualification.
  2. The Robotix Team is not responsible for any power cut during the commencement of the round, and the participant needs to start off fresh.
  3. The rules are subject to minor changes.
  4. The participant team is required to bring their extension cord and multipoint plug. We will provide power point with 220 V 50 Hz AC mains.
  5. Each team can consist of a maximum of 4 members.
  6. The team members can be from different institutes or colleges. All members must have an institute ID card.
  7. Each team should have unique participants i.e. no two teams can have even a single participant in common.
  8. Not more than one robot entry is allowed per team.
  9. The decision of ROBOTIX team will be final and binding.
