    The document describes the rules and guidelines for the Roboball competition. The goal is to have machines collect as many balls as possible from the center of the arena and score them by placing them in their own goal within 3 minutes. Red balls are worth 10 points each and the black ball is worth 30 points. Machines must meet size and safety requirements and can either push or throw balls into the goal from outside. The competition will take place in a knockout format and teams must qualify by scoring a ball within 60 seconds during elimination rounds.

    Roboball

    Task
    Are you game for the pleasure of looking the opposing team eye to eye and challenging them in a game
    of football? Use your ingenuity to craft a machine which collects and puts as many balls as possible into
    their own home area.The machine that gathers the most wins!There are also separate prizes for
    creativity, aesthetics, and engineering design but no extra points will be awarded for
    them.

    Competition Rules:

    • The goal of the game is to obtain maximum points according to the given point-
    system in a stipulated time. The time duration of one match will be 3 minutes.
    The machine that has the most points at the end of the match is declared the
    winner.
    • The center of the game board has 7 red and 1 black balls. The balls are
    standard table-tennis balls.
    • Each red ball has 10 points and black ball has 30 points. The score of the team
    depends on the number and type of balls that their machine acquires.
    • A machine can take a maximum of three balls at a time, and it has to goal at
    least one red ball before they pick a black ball.
    • Machine can enter the goal or can throw/push balls from outside the goal post
    for delivering the ball/balls inside the goal post. A successful point will be
    counted when balls remain inside the goal post. In case machine is going inside
    the post to deliver the ball then it should come out leaving the ball inside the
    goal post then only point will be awarded. Decision of which solely depends on
    Judges.
    • Once the goal is scored the ball will be taken out of the game.
    • If accidentally a machine scores a self goal then the points will be awarded to
    the opponent.

    Arena specification

    • The total size of arena is (l,b) 400X200 cm, the height of the side walls will be
    15cm.
    • Size of the goal post is (l,b,h) 20X50X25cm.
    • A semicircular plastic pipe of diameter of around 2.5cm is placed 60cm in front
    of the goal post and there are empty places on either sides of the pipes, width
    being 50 cm each.
    • The balls are placed at the center of the arena. The dimensions of open space
    between the two pipes are 240X200 cm.
    Robot specifications

    • At all times the robot (excluding the wires. Switches and remote) should fit in a
    box of size – (l,b,h) 30X30X20 cm.
    • The method of propulsion is at the discretion of the builder, provided it does not
    damage the arena in any way and it satisfies the safety constraints determined
    by the judges. The machine should not leave any part behind while the game is
    in progress or else it will lead to the disqualification of that particular team. The
    judges hold the right to subjectively determine if the machine violates this.
    • The batteries can be made on board the robot or the power can be supplied from
    the external sources, but mechanisms for direct transfer of mechanical energy
    like clutch wires is not allowed. If the batteries are external then they are
    excluded from the size constraints.
    • The maximum applied voltage to any component inside the robot is 24V, if
    higher voltages are used then the team will be disqualified immediately.
    • The machine can be made wireless or autonomous but there are no extra points
    for this.
    • A team may choose to make their robot completely out of Lego parts, their robot will be
    considered in the Lego category and if a team makes a robot completely out of non Lego parts
    their robot will be considered under the Non Lego category. In case of Lego robots the RCX must
    be contained on the robot itself.
    • All the wires should be slack enough at all times so that the robot is not pulled
    by the wires. Violation of this rule will lead to disqualification.
    • The organizers will provide a standard 230V/50 Hz AC power supply. Any
    extension cords, eliminators, adaptors etc required will have to be arranged by
    participants themselves.

    General Rules :

    • Team Size: A team may be of maximum 4 participants. Either a


    professor/teacher can be mentor to a team but any individual is not allowed as a
    mentor. Participants from different institutions can form a team. Team member
    and mentor should have valid educational institute ID card.However during the
    match only team members will be present in the game arena, mentors shall not be allowed in
    the arena during this time.
    • The tournament will be played on a knock-out basis, with two machines
    competing against each other.
    • The teams will be informed well in advance about the timings of their matches
    and each team is supposed to be ready with their machines near the board 15
    minutes before their match, failing which, the opponent will be declared the
    winner.
    • Each team will be given 5 minutes before the game to make some final
    adjustments in their machine after their machines are kept on the board. After
    this the match will start irrespective of whether the team in question is ready or
    not.

    respected Goal posts. The game coordinator will inform when to start the game.

    board.
    • Each team must get their machine’s dimensions checked whether it suffices the
    rules or not. Only then will a team be allowed to place their robot on to the
    arena board inside the starting point.
    • Robot has to pick 1 ball from the centre of the arena and deliver it in its own
    goal post within 60 seconds to qualify the elimination round.
    • As mentioned earlier also, machine can either enter the goal or throw/push the
    ball from outside for delivering the ball inside the goal post. A successful
    elimination will be declared when the ball remains inside the goal post and
    machine is outside the post. Decision of which solely depends on Judges.
