• This event contains only one round, that is, hitting the pyramid.

  • The system should have a minimum of 10 steps.

  • A step is an action that results in another action and continues on to the final aim. Each step should have energy conversion from one form to another.

  • Parallel steps will be awarded more marks. A parallel step is an action which initiates two or more steps at the same time.

  • There should be at least four different energy conversions (eg. potential to kinetic, electrical to mechanical etc.) and the rest of the contraptions (steps) can be of any type.

  • Participants can start the chain reaction automatically or manually.

  • Participants are allowed to make a maximum of 4 checkpoints in their machine according to their convenience, but marks will be deducted accordingly.

  • Participants are allowed to use fire and water in their contraption system. Points will be awarded accordingly.

  • Participants will be provided with a power supply of 230 V-50 Hz, if needed.

  • At the end, participants are required to hit a pyramid made up of 10 disposable cups. Points will be awarded according to the number of fallen cups.
