Battle of Trash - Junkyard Wars Description Enough of that sophisticated work where we think of accurate measurements and the right voltages. “Scrap, Vroom, Cut.....Unleash the wild creativity”- is all about this event. Junkyard Wars was first inspired by the TV series “Apollo 13”, in which astronauts had to carry out in-mission repairs using only the available materials. Here, we attempt to put participants in the same position and test their improvisation and creative skills. The participant teams are given access to a junkyard, and are required to build a machine/model in a given amount of time. This event requires a sound understanding of principles of Basic engineering subjects like mechanics, dynamics etc. Breaking the trend of making the cars, boats, bridges out of junk, this time we have something new in our Junkbox--Aeromodelling out of junk. This event has three rounds and the best teams moulding the backyard junk into something enviable are the winners. Details The three rounds of this event comprises of: 

Round 1: Aptitude Test + Activity no. I

The Aptitude paper will comprise of basic Quantitative aptitude, Logical reasoning, Vocabulary etc. Questions will be of mixed difficulty levels. Along with aptitude, every participating group has to perform an Activity I which will be an elementary model making. It will be based on basic physics knowledge. The qualifying teams for round 2 will be decided upon the combined score of Aptitude paper and Activity I. 

Round 2: Activity no. II

Activity II will be of higher difficulty level which will be based on basic engineering knowledge. The qualifying teams of round two will be sent for Round 3 i.e. Final Round. 

Round 3: Final Activity no III

In final round, there will be activity wherein participants have to think out of the box to clear this round. It will be a great challenge for teams and a good competition between the final round qualifiers. Winners On the basis of individual team’s performances in final round, first three teams will be declared as winners. Judging of final round will be done by Experienced Judges with specialization in engineering fields. General Rules 

All the activities viz. Activity I, II, and III will be declared at the time of the event along with their rules.

The time allotted for the activity and testing of models will be declared with the declaration of activity at the time of the event.

In case of tie, points from earlier rounds will be considered.

All decisions for the ties, judgment and results will be solely governed by the Event Heads and will be final in all respect. No grievances shall be entertained.

A spirit of healthy competition is to be maintained. Any team found breaking the rules given at the time of the event will be disqualified.

The organizers reserve the rights to change any or all of the above rules as they deem fit. Change in rules, if any will be highlighted on the website and notified to the registered participants. 

Certificate Policy

IRON LEGACY: WAR-O-BOTS 

Dimensions and Fabrications 

The machine should fit in a box of dimensions 450mm x 450mm x 500mm (lxbxh) at the of the start match .The dimensions of the robot would be checked before the start of the match. Also dimension of the support for external wiring would not be counted in the dimensions of robot. The external device used to control the machines or any external tank is not included in the size constraint.

The machine should not exceed 15kg of weight excluding the weight of the pneumatic source/tank. Weight of external power source (batteries and adaptors) will not be counted. Therefore in short the weight of the robot to be consider (W)=Weight of the robot (Wr)+Weight of the external tank (Wt)

Mobility THE robot can be made to move using following mechanism: 

Rolling:-wheels, tracks or the whole robot.

Jumping or any type of hopping is not allowed.

Flying mechanism (using airfoil, helium balloons, ornithopters, etc.) is not allowed.

Robot controls requirements 

The machine can be controlled wirelessly or with wires. Off board power supplies are allowed. Refer below for further details on battery and power supply.

If the machines are wired then the wires should remain slack under all circumstances during unit. If the machines are wired then the wires should remain slack under all circumstances during unit. The wires should be properly insulated. Teams are suggested to use only rated wires. Loose connections or improper wiring may lead to direct disqualifications even before the event. Any damage to opponent Robot due to any such loose wiring may lead in disqualification.

If the machine is controlled wirelessly, the machine must at least have a dual frequency remote control circuit which can be tested with opponent team before the start of the match to avoid frequency interference with opponent. The case of any interference in the wireless systems will not be considered for rematch or results.

Remote controls system from toys might be used. Remote control systems available in the market may be also be used.

Battery and power supply 

The machine can be powered electrically only. Use of an IC engine in any form is not allowed. On board Batteries must be sealed, immobilized-electrolyte types (such as gel cells, lithium, NiCad, NiMH, or dry cells).

A team can use AC voltage in any of its Robot parts directly to control any mechanism and own connections( Transformers ,motors, wire..etc)

All efforts ,must be made to protect battery terminals from a direct sort and causing a battery fire, failure to do so will cause direct disqualification.

Use of damaged, non-leak proof batteries may lead to disqualification.

Battery Eliminators are allowed and AC power source would be available at the venue for the eliminators.

Pneumatics 

Robot can use pressurized non-flammable gases to actuate pneumatic devices. Maximum allowed outlet nozzle pressure is 7 bar. The storage tank and pressure regulators used by team need to be certified and teams using pneumatics are required to take care of all safety precautions at the venue. Failing to do so will lead to direct disqualification.

Participants must be able to indicate the used pressure with integrated or temporarily fitted pressure gauge. Also there should be provision to check the cylinder pressure on the bot.

The maximum pressure in cylinder should not exceed the rated pressure at any point of time.

You must have a safe way of refilling system and determining the on board pressure.

All pneumatic components on board 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.

Hydraulics Robot cannot use Hydraulic devices. Weapons System Robot can have any kind of weapons such as scoops, pincers, flippers, saws, lifting devices, spinning hammers, etc. as weapons with following exceptions and limitations: 

Liquid projectiles.

Any kind of inflammable liquid.

Flame-base weapons.

Any kind of explosive or intentionally ignited solid or potential ignitable solid.

Net, tape, glue, or any other electromagnets.

High power magnets or electromagnets.

Radio jamming, lazers, tesla coils ,or any other high voltage device.

Tethered or untethered projectiles.

*In no case should the arena be damaged by any bot  Competition structure 

The combination will be displayed on knock out basis .A robot is declared victorious if is opponent is immobilized or pitted.

A robot will be declared immobile if it cannot display linear motion of at least 3 cm in a timed period of 20 seconds .A bot with one side of its drive train displayed will not be counted out if it can demonstrate some degree of controlled movement 

In case both the robot remain mobile after the end of round then the winner will be decided various factor like a) Damage b) Control c) Aggression d) Design. 

A robot can be deemed unsafe by the judges after the match has begun if the power safety is not taken by the team member to control the bot and if the bot goes haywire then it will be disqualified and therefore declared the loser. The match will be immediately halted and the opponent will be awarded a win.

General Rules 

The competition will be played on a knock-out basis.

The maximum duration of each round will be 5 minutes. The stipulated time allotted can be increase as per the situation of the event. Any team that is not related at the time specified will be disqualified from the competition automatically.

The machine would check for it’s safety before the competition and would be discarded if found unsafe for the participants and spectators.

The name of your machine must be prominently displayed on the machine.

The organizers reserve the right to change any or all of the above rules as they dim fit.

Violation of any above rules will lead to disqualification.

Judges decision shall be treated as final and binding on all.

Safety Rules 

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.

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.

Each event has safety inspections. It is at their sole discretion that your robot is allowed to compete. As a builder, you are obliged to disclose all operating principles and potential danger to the inspection staff.

Proper activation and deactivation of robots is critical. Robots must only be activated in the arena with expressed consent of the event co-coordinators.

All weapons must have a safety cover on any sharp edges. 

All participants build and operate robots at their own risk. Combat robotics is dangerous. There is no amount of regulation that can encompass all the dangers involved. Please take care to not hurt yourselves or others while building and competing.

Team Specifications A team may consist of four participants, need not be from the same institute. Certificate Policy Certificate of excellence will be given to all winners and teams except who do not follow all specifications and also no refunding of fees. Team will be disqualified due to disobeying any rules and will not be considered for the certificate. Registration Fees- Rs 350/team. Cash Prizes Worth: Rs. 20,000/- Contact
