The diagram given below is a sample arena (It is subjected to change) as viewed from the live camera feed:

(The words “Start” , “ONE”, “TWO”, “THREE” are kept only for understanding purposes and will not be present in the actual arena)

• The aim of the robot is to collect specified(by us) weight samples from the craters represented  as circles of different sizes

• Each crater represents a particular denomination of weight samples(say, 10x, 20x, 30x gms represented by craters in the ascending order of their sizes)

• The robot is said to have collected a weight sample from a particular crater if it waits for three seconds over it (else it will not be taken into consideration).

• Each team will be allotted with 500 points initially

• One point will be detected for every two seconds the robot spends in the arena

• The obstacles between “ONE” and “TWO” are well spaced compared to the obstacles present  between “TWO” and “THREE”

• The robot can reach destination “TWO” from “ONE” in two ways and similarly can reach destination “THREE” from “TWO” in two ways. Therefore there are four ways in which a team can achieve their goal and each of them are discussed in detail below:

ONE-TWO via obstacles, TWO-THREE via obstacles:

o   Between ONE-TWO

•      -20 points for each collision with the obstacles

o   Between TWO-THREE

•      -5 points for each collision with the obstacles

o   If required sample of weight collected:

•      4000 points extra will be awarded

ONE-TWO above blue line(shown in diagram), TWO-THREE via obstacles:

o   Between TWO-THREE

•      -5 points for each collision with the obstacles

o   If required sample of weight collected:

•      2000 points extra will be awarded

ONE-TWO via obstacles, TWO-THREE above blue line(shown in diagram):

o   Between ONE-TWO

•      -20 points for each collision with the obstacles

o   If required sample of weight collected:

•      500 points extra will be awarded

ONE-TWO above blue line (shown in diagram), TWO-THREE above blue line (shown in diagram):

o   If required sample of weight collected:

•      50 points extra will be awarded

NOTE: The arrangement of arena(the position and colour of obstacles ) is subjected to change but the rules mentioned above will be same
