Rules & Guidelines

Official Tournament Protocol & Referee Regulations

Each team must consist of 2–4 participants. Students from different institutions may form a team. All participants must carry valid institutional ID cards.

All robots must pass weight, dimension, voltage, and safety inspections before competing.

The objective is to navigate the track, clear designated checkpoints, and complete assigned challenges.

Robots must be ready at the starting position before the start signal. False starts may result in a penalty or disqualification at the officials' discretion.

Robots may be repositioned only with the permission of the officials. Any permitted repositioning may incur a time penalty.

Practice runs on the official competition track are strictly prohibited.

Robots must not damage the track, shed components, or create unsafe conditions. Violations may result in penalties or disqualification.

Scoring will be based primarily on the total points earned by clearing checkpoints and completing designated tasks, followed by completion time. In the event of a tie in points, the robot completing the track in the shortest time will be declared the winner.

Robots must be adequately protected against track hazards, including water and fire obstacles. Electrical components, batteries, and wiring must be securely mounted and suitably insulated to ensure safe operation. Robots failing to meet safety requirements may be disqualified.
