Bot Wrestling is basically a competition of two wireless robots competing in an attempt to push the opponent out of the arena. These robots must be remote operated.


STRUCTURE

Event Structure:

The arena consists of two concentric rings- the inner one blue surrounded by a red boundary. The aim of the robots is to push the opposition robot out of the outer circle. Robots gains points for pushing the opposition robot in the red zone. Points are deducted from the team score if it enters the red zone. The team that successfully completely pushes the opposition robot out of the red zone wins the match.

ROUNDS:

Qualifier Round

  1. 1. Qualifier round will be held prior to the knockout round. The duration of the qualifying round will be 2 minutes.
  2. 2. In each match, two teams will compete against each other at a time and try to earn maximum points.
  3. 3. The teams will be ranked according to their points.
  4. 4. Top 16 teams will qualify for the finals. Other than this, the performance in the qualifier round is of no significance to the contest.

Knockout Round

  1. 1. Two teams will compete against each other like in the qualifier one.
  2. 2. Each round will have a duration of 2 minutes. The team which wins two rounds first (each of 2 min) will be declared the winner of the match.
  3. 3. The team that pushes the opposition robot out of the arena (i.e. out of the red zone) is declared as the winner of that round.
  4. 4. The scoring pattern will be uniform throughout and the scores will be considered only in case of a tie i.e. if no team is able to push the opponent’s robot out of the arena in that round.
  5. 5. In case of a tie in a round (i.e. none of the team’s robots is able to push the opposition robot out of the arena), the winner will be decided by the points earned by each team in that round. 6. In case of a tie in the match, the winner of the match will be decided by a tie-breaker.

TASK:

  1. 1. Teams can build a robot that can be controlled either wirelessly or through wire/tether.
  2. 2. The aim of the robot is to push the robot of the opposite team out of the arena. The team doing so wins the match.

ARENA:

  1. 1. The arena will be square in the shape of a side of 3000 mm.
  2. 2. The main arena will be circular in shape with a maximum diameter of 2400 mm.
  3. 3. It will consist of two concentric circles of diameter 2000 mm and 2400 mm.
  4. 4. The inner circular area is blue in colour and is called the “Blue Zone” while the outer circular area is red in colour and is called the “Red Zone”.
  5. 5. A centre white line of 30 mm width divides the arena into two equal halves.
  6. 6. There are white squares of 300 mm x 300 mm on the opposite sides of this line that indicate the starting zones of the two competing teams.
  7. 7. The arena will be made up of wood and the markings on it including all the zones will be drawn using paint.
