HELL-IN THE CELL
Electronics & Communication
This tournament will showcase the most advanced robots built by teams from around the world, as they battle it out in a custom-designed arena. With no restrictions on dimensions and a weight limit of 8 Kgs, the possibilities for robot designs are endless. The robots will be powered by electricity and controlled manually by their creators, who will have to navigate obstacles and outsmart their opponents to emerge victorious. The competition will also feature a range of exciting rules and regulations, such as the prohibition of pneumatic, hydraulic mechanisms or electric lifters, Flame throwers, and the requirement of an active weapon for each robot is not mandatory and warbot can be similar to robo-sumo type. The teams will also have to adhere to strict safety standards, ensuring a thrilling but safe experience for all participants. Any of microcontrollers and controllers allowed.
Event Overview
Design Specification:
1. The weight of the Robot should not exceed 8 Kgs at any point of time, including the weight of the battery.
2. The War-Bot must be electric only, no internal combustion engines are allowed.
3. There will be no restrictions on the dimensions of the bot(s).
4. The robot should be manually controlled wirelessly without any autonomous programs.
5. Any microcontroller can be used on-board.

Game Rules:
1. Two teams will start the game, by fighting with each other.
2. Every Round will be of 3 minutes.
3. Participants need to fight with their war-bots and last-man standing in arena wins.
4. If a robot is thrown out of the arena the match will be stopped immediately, and the robot inside the arena will automatically be declared as the winner.
5. A robot is declared victorious if its opponent is immobilized or amount of damage caused.
6. Robots with Weapon need to start the weapon after the “go” signal only.
7. If a bot gets stuck inside the arena due to the deformity of the arena itself. The timer will be stopped and the bot will be released by the safest means.
8. Judges can disqualify both the robots of a match from advancing to the next round. All the decisions taken by the judge will be final and binding to all. Any queries afterwards will not be entertained.
9. Few rules can be changed or added prior to the competition first round based on multiple parameters.
Eligibility Criteria:
1. Each team can have a maximum of 8 members.
2. Each member of the team must carry their valid Identity card of his/her institution.
3. The robots must be submitted one hour prior to the competition, for the specifications to be verified.
4. Any mechanical (only) attacking can be used and the attacking mechanism should be fixed to the robot. Aerial attacks are not entertained.
