IIT MADRAS PRESENTS SPIRIT OF ENGINEERING SHAASTRA

DATE:1-5th OCTOBER

ROBOTICS COMPETETION:


(1) EMERGENCY EXIT:(AUTONOUMS N MANUAL)
Make an autonoums robot which goes from one corner of the grid to the other , while the manual bot lifts the blocks and assists the autnoums bot in going from the startng point to the end .
The manual bot has to pick up the blocks placed in the grid .
To make a gripper to pick up the blocks , check here

But tooo many restrictions (like sending ur pics to them video to them dnt know Y)

(2)LIBRARY SCANNER:(IMAGE PROCESSING)
Need to pick up cubical blocks of different colour and place them at their respective locations.
Need to make a gripper again for lifting the blocks.

(3)GET A GRIP:(ROBOTIC ARM)
Make an arm with more linkages for lifting blocks of different shapes.

IIT GUWAHATI (TECHNICHE) FEST

by Faizy


This is the annual techincal fest of IIT guwahati

DATE:5th -7th September 2008

ROBOTIC COMPETITIONS:

(1)BADGE OF HONOUR:(Manual competetion)

Make a Manual Robot capable of moving blocks and negotiating sloping surfaces and a simple maze.

To make a gripper to lif the blocks check here

(2)DEEP PURPLE:(Aqua bot manual)

Design and build a machine that can move in water in all 3 dimensions in a tank and can rupture balloons tied to the bottom of the arena using threads of different lengths.

(3)RGB:(Image Processing)
The arena is an 8x8 chessboard. The squares on this "chessboard" are colored, and each color will be assigned a cost. The robot has to go from the starting to the ending square, while incurring the minimum possible total loss. The starting and ending squares will be at diagonally opposite corners of the arena.

During a run, we will provide each team with a computer and a webcam mounted vertically above the arena. The robot would have to run with the computer's guidance. Once the program is started on the computer, no human intervention will be allowed till a timeout is called (The rules for timeout are elaborated in Scoring Rules)

(4)HOUDINI ACT:(Autonoums)

To collect the secret codes in the enemy territory and avoid any collisions with the obstacles.


(5)FLIGHT 101:(Airborne)

Design and build a remote controlled airplane that will remain airborne for maximum possible time and is capable of performing manoeuvres in air.

(6)YACHT-O-TRONIX:(Aqua Bot)

To make a Yacht which can propel and manoveur in the water filled arena with the help of Wind Energy.
