14 T2) CODE-BLOCKS If it s bug free, it s time to make changes Technology, the knack of so arranging the world that we don t have to experience it. First we thought that PC was a calculator. Then we found how to turn numbers into letters with ASCII and we interpreted it as a typewriter and with World Wide Web, we've realized that it's a brochure. Presenting Code-Blocks, whose aim is to provide a platform for the budding computer science enthusiasts like you, to showcase your technical brilliance in the same field. The event will help the computer zealot to test their technical as well as soft skills. On the other-hand fresher will get a chance to be introduced to the application world. Eligibility criteria-pursuing UG in technology stream and open to all branches. Cross these three rounds on Zonal as well as University Level and grab the title of Computer Freak : Round 1: Computing Extempore Clock, a device of great moral values to man, allaying his concern for the future by reminding him what amount of time remains for him. But here, time limit for you is set, so keep calm and say out all the stuff you know according to the topic. You ll be given a topic related to some of the trending technologies, like plug-ins, GCC, Ethernet etc. for an impromptu talk of not more than a minute. Judging Criteria - Marks will be awarded as per your expressiveness, presentation and accuracy of knowledge about that topic. So give best shot to your soft skills as well! Round 2: Mind-Bender Our laptops and smart phones are so close to us. Are we the same for them? Let s check this out in Round 2 through a quiz (offline for Zonal/ online for University level) involving aspects like - Application/website development and designing OS (Windows, Linux, Android etc.) IT companies and their products Debugging code snippets Real life applications of C, Java etc. 12

15 MCQ s as well as short answer type questions will be asked. Judging Criteria - Marks will be awarded for each correct answer. No negative marking will be done at Zonal level while university level will involve negative marking. Round 2 will be more advanced in terms of toughness of the questions at University level than at Zonal level. Round 3: Code-Spark Do you find interesting to solve problems via certain logic? Maybe you will need certain steps to decipher that logic? Those certain steps, i.e. algorithms will be the core of this round. Zonal level Code the given problems offline on the provided software, with the best possible productive method, in C language. University level Rise up and fight against some astonishing competitors in the battlegrounds of the Code-Blocks, with your skills as your weapon and some tricky questions as your objective. This time questions will be judged by an online judge and codes in languages C, C++ & Java will be accepted. Judging Criteria - All the problems will have some points allotted to them. Users will be ranked according to their marks obtained. Ties will be broken on the basis of the total time taken by the participants to complete the contest along with some penalties for wrong submissions.

Teams will be awarded points based on their bridge s performance according to four different categories of the competition (Strength, Workmanship, Presentation and Technical Report). At the end of the competition, all points will be tallied and compared to the scores of all the competing teams. There are a total of 100 points in this competition. The 100 points will be distributed as follows: Strength [75 points]: Awarded to the team, prior to failure whose bridge will be able to support the greatest load-to-weight ratio. Workmanship [5 points]: Awarded to the team whose bridge appears to be the most professional-looking to judges and shows a high level of craftsmanship Presentation [10 points]: Awarded to the team that presents their bridge in the most creative and professional manner. 14

17 Technical Report [10 points]: Awarded to the team with the best technical report describing the design and construction phases of their bridge. If there is a tie between the teams, then winning team will be selected as follows (PERFOMANCE RATING=LOAD AT FAILURE /SELF WT.) Awards will be given to the teams that are ranked first, second and third in overall score as well as in the individual categories. Please review the following rules carefully to make sure that your bridge, report, display, and oral presentation comply with all of them. Teams Each college may enter up to four teams, consisting of two to four students per team. All members of a team must be from the same college. Students may not be members of more than one team. Each team may submit only one bridge for competition. Bridge Materials Only white all-purpose glue may be used to hold together all bridge elements. All bridge elements must be made of common wooden craft sticks (standard size: 41/2 x 3/8 x 1/12 ). Allowed tolerances = +1/16 length, + 1/16 width, and + 1/48 thickness. ALL MATERIAL WILL BE PROVIDED BY OUR TEAM AS EVENT KIT NOTE: - Bridge Dimensions The entire bridge must fit within a box of 55cm long, 10 high and 5 wide. Prior to loading, no part of the bridge should extend above the bridge size. 15

22 4. There should be no source of electrical power installed on the vehicle. 5. The vehicle must be completely autonomous, which means that the vehicle should stop on the launching zonal by itself and it should launch the projectile by itself. (Only for university level) 6. The mechanism of the machine should be purely mechanical i.e. no use of electrical component like sensors, battery etc. and the machine will have to stop automatically by mechanical mechanism only. (Only for university level) RULES 1. Maximum of 3 members per team is allowed and a maximum of 3 attempts will be provided. Best among these 3 will be considered. 2. In every attempt the front most of the vehicle will be placed it just touching the Starting line. 3. At the back of the vehicle there should be some mean (e.g. Hook) to tie up a string. And by cutting the string the vehicle will start to move down the wedge The vehicle should climb up to at least optimize launching zonal (checkered area) before launching the projectile. (Only for university level). 5. No human intervention is permitted once the machine is released. 6. External control (with any mechanism) of the vehicle during its operation is prohibited. 7. The machine should not damage the arena in any way. 8. In case the machine falls off the arena, then the team loses that chance (of attempts). 9. In case of a tie, the machine with the least weight will win. 10. In case of any inconsistency the decision of the organizing committee will be final and binding. MARKING SYSTEM (for zonal level) For first round 10. The teams will be given marks equal to the distance covered in centimeter divided by For second & third round The points are according to the range of the projectile. If projectile lands on a black coloured area, then 20 points will be awarded. If projectile lands on red coloured area, then 30 points will be awarded. If projectile lands on the green coloured area, then 50 points will be awarded. 20

23 If projectile lands on white coloured area, then 100 points will be awarded. If projectile lands on blue coloured area, then 150 points will be awarded MARKING SYSTEM (for university level) If the projectile is launched from the optimum launching zonal, the points are according to the range of the projectile. If projectile lands on black coloured area, then 20 points will be awarded. If projectile lands on red coloured area, then 30 points will be awarded. If projectile lands on green coloured area, then 50 points will be awarded. If projectile lands on white coloured area, then 100 points will be awarded. If projectile lands on blue coloured area, then 150 points will be awarded If the vehicle crosses the optimum launching zonal before launching the projectile, then the distance by which the front most of the vehicle has covered ahead of the optimum launching zonal, will be subtracted from the range of the projectile. And according to that new range marks will be decided. The machine after beginning from starting zonal should move down the wedge 1 travels the horizontal zonal and move up the wedge 2. The machine should come to a halt in the launching zonal on wedge 2 before launching the projectile. If the machine halts by itself, following points will be awarded as per the area in which the machine halts for launching the projectile. Optimum launching zonal: +200 points Extended launching zonal: points In case of the vehicle does not halt by itself before launching and the vehicle launches the projectile by colliding with the obstacle provided, no extra marks will be given. 20% marks will be awarded for design and innovation. In any case decision of the coordinators and the organizing team of UCE, RTU, KOTA will be final and binding to all. 21

The fitting of interchangeable body panels or alternative weaponry is allowed before each round and must be retained till the end of the round. 3. During finals, any on-board equipment that could require attention between duels for maintenance - e.g. recharging of compressed gas cylinders, charging batteries, resetting of weapons, etc. should be easily and quickly accessible, i.e. systems must be installed in such a manner that they can be removed for filling and testing within five minutes. 2. Style All robots must have easily visible and controlled mobility in order to compete. Methods of mobility include: 1. Rolling (wheels, tracks or the whole robot). 2. Non-wheeled robots having no rolling elements in contact with the floor and no continuous rolling or cam operated motion in contact with the floor, either directly or via a linkage. Motion is "continuous" if continuous operation of the drive motor(s) produces continuous motion of the robot. Linear-actuated legs and novel non-wheeled drive systems come under this category. 3. Jumping, hopping and Flying (using airfoil, helium balloons, ornithopters, etc.) is not allowed. 36

39 3. Dimensions and Fabrications 1. The machine should fit in a box of dimension 35x35x35 cub. cm at the starting of the match. 2. The machine should not exceed 15kg, including the weight of pneumatic source/tank. 3. The weight of adaptors, battery and the remote control will not be counted. 4. Any machine component should not be detached (intentionally) during any point of the war. 5. Ready-made gear boxes, control circuits and remote control can be used. 4. Wiring Control Requirements The machine can be controlled through wired or wireless source. 1. The remotes to be used should have a minimum four frequency remote control circuit or two dual control circuits or a transmitter receiver paired module so that the frequency interferences with opposing team can be avoided (in case of any interference in the wireless systems, they will not be considered for a rematch). 2. Nonstandard or self-made remote control systems must first be approved by the organizers. 3. In case of wired bots, the wires should remain slack at any instant during the fight. All the wires coming out of the machine should be stacked as a single unit. Also, the wires should be projected 500mm above the ground to avoid entanglement. 4. Remote used can be wired or wireless. (Both Self Made, Ready Made not allowed.) 5. Battery and Power 1. The machine can be powered electrically. The use of batteries is also allowed. 2. Power supply has to be on-board. 3. Batteries must be sealed, immobilized electrolyte types (such as gel cells, lithium, NiCad, NiMH, or dry cells). 4. The electrical voltage at any point of time in the machine should not exceed 36 V DC. 5. All efforts must be made to protect battery terminals from a direct short and causing a battery fire, failure to do so will cause direct disqualification. 6. Use of damaged, non-leak proof batteries may lead to disqualification. 37

40 7. Change of battery will not be allowed during the match (exemption can be made in case of battery damage). 8. It is suggested to have an extra battery ready and charged up during competition so that on advancing to the next level, you don't have to wait or suffer due to uncharged battery. If teams don't show up on allotted slot, they will be disqualified. 9. Use of IC engine in any form is not allowed. 6. Pneumatics and Hydraulics 1. Participants can use pneumatic and hydraulic weapon systems, but use of external pressure/ liquid cylinders is not allowed. Cylinders should be placed on the bots. 2. The outlet pressure of the source/tank should not exceed 10 bars. 3. Robots can use pressurized, non-inflammable gases/liquid to initialize their pneumatic mechanisms. 4. The used pressure should be indicated by means of temporarily fitted pressure gauge or there should be a provision to measure the cylinder pressure on the bot. 5. The storage tank and pressure regulators used by teams need to be certified and teams using pneumatics are required to produce the Safety and Security letters at the Registration Desk at the venue. Failing to do so will lead to direct disqualification. 6. You must have a safe way of refilling the system and determining the on board pressure. 7. All pneumatic components on board of a robot must be securely mounted. Particular attention must be made to pressure vessel mounting and armor to ensure that if ruptured it will not escape the robot. The terms 'pressure vessel, bottle, and source tank' are used interchangeably. 7. Weapon System Robots can have any kind of cutters, flippers, saws, lifting devices, spinning hammers etc. as weapons with following exceptions and limitations: 1. Liquid projectiles. 2. Any kind of inflammable liquid. 3. Flame-based weapons. 4. Any kind of explosive or intentionally ignited solid or potentially ignitable solid. 5. Nets, tape, glue, or any other entanglement device. 6. High power magnets or electromagnets. 38

41 7. Radio jamming, lasers, tesla coils, or any other high-voltage device. 8. Tethered or un-tethered projectiles. Spinning weapons which do not come in contact with the arena at any point of time are allowed. In no case should the arena be damaged by any bot. 8. Safety 1. Compliance with all event rules is mandatory. It is expected that competitors stay within the rules and procedures of their own accord and do not require constant policing. 2. The machine would be checked for its safety before the competition and the team would be disqualified if their machine is found unsafe. 3. Participants are expected to abide by the rules & should co-operate with the organizers. 4. If you have a robot or weapon design that does not fit within the categories set forth in these rules or is in some way ambiguous or borderline, please contact the event organizers. Safe innovation is always encouraged, but surprising the event staff with your brilliant exploitation of a loophole may cause your robot to be disqualified before it even competes. 5. All participants will build and operate robots at their own risk. Combat robotics is inherently dangerous. There is no amount of regulation that can encompass all the dangers involved. Please take care to not hurt yourself or others when building, testing and competing. 9. Team Specification Any team can participate in Robo wars. A team may consist of a maximum of 5 participants. But during the match no participant is allowed in the arena of the fight. Team Name Every team must have a name which must be unique. Organizers reserve the right to reject entries from any Team whose name it deems inappropriate, offensive or conflicting. Organizers must be notified during if a Team's name has been changed. Team Representative Each team must specify their Team Representative (Leader) at the time of registration on the website. All important communications between organizers and the registered teams will be done through their Team Representative. The Team Representatives must submit valid contact details (phone no., ID, etc.) at the time of registration. 39

42 NOTE During any kind of conversation, registration, communication, mails or submissions the team must identify themselves by their Team ID only provided at the time of registration and not by your team name. Please do not use your team name as your identification in any kind of communication with the organizing staff. Follow this rule very strictly. 10. Registration Teams using pneumatics or hydraulics will have to send a safety letter signed by any faculty in-charge /Lab in-charge or a testing lab/company dealing in this field, on their official letterhead. Judging criteria 1. A robot is declared victorious if its opponent is immobilized. 2. A robot will be declared immobile if it cannot display linear motion of at least one inch in a timed period of 30 seconds. A bot with one side of its drive train disabled will not be counted out if it can demonstrate some degree of controlled movement. In case both the robots remain mobile after the end of the round, then the winner will be decided subjectively. 3. A robot that is deemed unsafe by the judges after the match has begun will be disqualified and therefore declared the loser. The match will be immediately halted and the opponent will be awarded a win. 4. If a robot is thrown out of the arena the match will stop immediately, and the robot which survives inside the arena will automatically be declared as the winner. 5. Robots cannot win by pinning or lifting their opponents. Organizers will allow pinning or lifting for a maximum of 20 seconds per pin / lift, then the attacking robot will be instructed to release the opponent. If, after being instructed to do so, the attacker is able to release, but does not, their robot may be disqualified. If two or more robots become entangled or a crushing or gripping weapon is employed and becomes trapped within another robot, then the competitors should make the timekeeper aware, the fight should be stopped and the robots separated by the safest means. 6. Points will be given on the basis of aggression, damage, control and strategy. Aggression is judged by the frequency, severity, boldness and effectiveness of attacks deliberately initiated by the robot against its opponent. If a robot appears to have accidentally attacked an opponent, that act will not be considered Aggression. Control means a robot is able to attack an opponent at its weakest point, use its weapons in the most effective way, and minimize the damage caused by the opponent or its weapons. Damage through deliberate action, a robot either directly or indirectly reduces the functionality, effectiveness or defensibility of an 40

43 opponent. Damage is not considered relevant if a robot inadvertently harms itself. Also, if a pressure vessel or a rapidly spinning device on a robot fragment, any damage to the opponent will not be considered "deliberate" strategy. The robot exhibits a combat plan that exploits the robot's strength against the weakness of its opponent. Strategy is also defined as a robot exhibiting a deliberate defense plan that guards its weakness against the strength of the opponent. 7. Points will be given on the basis of assembling skill used in designing and making robot. Contact: , , Mail at: robowarthar@gmail.com 41
