GENERAL RULES:

• A team should comprise of minimum of 1 member and maximum 2 members.
• It is not mandatory that all the members in a group should be from the same institute.
• A team should bring all the required materials.
• No test practice will be allowed in the competition arena but they are providing with separate arena.
• Any team that is not ready at the time specified even after relaxation according to the problem occurred will be eliminated from the competition.
• Participants should not have any objection on the predefined rules.
• Participants shall not be allowed to be part of more than one team.

WARNING:

• Properly check for the complete firm connection of Quadcopter before entering competition.
• The Teams are sole responsible for all the materials they bring for the competition.
• Judges, Robotryst team will not be responsible for the accidents/damage that occurs to quadcopter during the competition.
• No claims for any participant’s materials shall be entertained.

JUDGING:

• Judges decision shall be treated as final and binding on all and sundry.
• Arguments are strongly discouraged.
• Judges reserve all rights to eliminate the participation of any teams who indulge in any informal activities.

ARENA:

• The whole championship arena is divided into various stages of evaluation.
• The flying of quadcopter will be from the specific Source to Destination.
• There are specific check points where the teams will be given relaxation and the teams can make use of the checkpoints for changing the batteries, adjusting gains, calibration of sensors, etc.
• There will be enough time provided for the teams to charge the batteries at the completion of every stage. The requirement of time of charging the batteries during the conduct of competition will not be entertained.
• The teams can skip the stages in which they think it is not possible for them to complete.

STAGE 1:
EVALUATION

• The quadcopters will be evaluated with various stages of designing, construction, implementation of innovation and flying.
• Each and every part will be observed for judging which includes the connection of various parts, fixing of components, materials used, how the stuff is implemented, etc.,

STAGE 2:
INDIVIDUAL TAKE OFF AND LANDING

• During this stage the teams will be given multiple take off and landing only.
• The performance will be evaluated like smoothness of taking off and landing, distortions in quad, vibrations, etc.
• Multiple take off and landing will be given in the plain and uneven ground level.

STAGE 3:
MULTIPLE TAKE OFF AND LANDING

• Multiple quadcopters will be allotted the specific locations and the evaluation will be made on the group performance of piloting.

STAGE 4:
LADDER CROSSING

• This stage meets the perfection in the stability of the quadcopter.
• During this stage the quadcopter has to travel through the gaps in the huge sized ladder.
• The number of gaps to be travelled will be chosen by the first team member solving the quiz question chosen by the second team member.
• For example. If the answer of the quiz question is 5 then the 5 gaps of the ladder is to be completed by the pilot.
• The fashion of travelling the 5 gaps will be chosen by the team member.

STAGE 5:
ANGLED LADDER:

• This stage is quiet similar to Stage 4.
• Even more complexity to the piloting with the proper stability of the quadcopter is evaluated in this stage.

STAGE 6:
COURSE FIXING

• In this stage the Course of flying is fixed, i.e., the Nose and Tail position of quad will be fixed.
• The pilots will be given some paths to be completed.
• During the completion of the path provided the position of the pilot will be changed from time to time.

STAGE 7:
TASK WILL BE GIVEN ON SPOT MODIFYING THE COMPONENTS OF THE ORIGINAL QUADCOPTER BROUGHT BY THE TEAMS.

STAGE 8:

TIE BREAKER

• In case any tie occurring in between the teams during the overall evaluation then the Formula racing of the respective teams will be given.
• The task is like a knock out race.
• The team crossing the finish line at first will be awarded winner and the second with the next corresponding position.
