Description of events in AUTOBOTS sector of VJTI's TECHNOVANZA 2013

AUTOBOTS
One of the major sectors of the events of Technovanza is Autobots. In this sector, the participants are required to bring their own bots to the respective events. Autobots sector draws a large no. of participants every year due to the new experience and enjoyment the participants get by making the bots on their own and then using it in a competition to compete with other people. This year there are some new events introduced in Autobots .There are a total of 9 events in autobots.
1-Split Second
In this event the participants are required to build an IC engine car which can race through the track with sharp turns and big jumps. It’s a 1 on 1 race so your car must outdo the opponents car while maintaining its speed and balance. So if u have a love for speed then this is where u should be.
2-Robowars
One of the new events to be held in this year’s Technovanza. All hell will break loose when the robots go 1 on 1 with each other and the one who survives until last will indeed be the ultimate survivor. So be there to experience the thrill and the excitement of the fights between robots and witness the destruction.
3-Monster arena
This is a event where the participants will try to race their bot to the finish line in the minimum amount of time. But it’s not going to be so easy. The reason-obstacles. The bot-wired or wireless will try to overcome the obstacles whilst trying to reach the quickest. The thinking capability and the quickness of mind will help the participants to overcome the obstacles of this competition in minimum time and thus being the winner.
4-Wall-e
The bot has to travel a given path after receiving instructions from the arena itself . So the bot should be completely autonomous and capable of thinking on its own. It will have two levels where in the first level the arena will consist of 1 colour while it will have a more difficult arena of 2 colours in the second. So make your bot intelligent enough to earn the title of ‘wall-e’.
5-Robo Pirates
Another addition to the Autobots sector. In this event the participants are required to make such a bot that it should traverse both land water and complete the given problem statements in both. Innovative designs will help in solving the problem statements in a faster way.(This bot can also be made by making some changes and modifying the design of the monster arena bot)
6-Cable Crane
This event has a problem statement somewhat different from the others. The bot has to carry the goods from one place to other but somewhere in the middle, it cannot be carried due to specific reasons. A rope will be provided which should be used to carry the goods but BEWARE, the line followers will try to steal your goods where the bot takes a long route to pick up the goods. So HURRY UP.
7-Master of Puppets
This event is a also first timer in Technovanza . In this event the bot will need to perform certain tasks just by recognizing the gesture of your hands. The bot should to be controlled just by the movement of the palm. The bot’s fate is indeed in your hands.
8-Step Climbing Bot
In this event you have to design a bot such that it can navigate through certain objects and bumpy terrains and ultimately climbing the steps while moving fast on the ground. On even floor it drives like many other small robots with a differential-drive. In addition it can change its length with linear guides mechanism with a spindle-drive. By this mechanism it can reliably climb up and down regular sized stairs.
9-Vertigo
In this event your bot will act as a leader of a team of soldiers trying to win their queen back from the enemy kingdom.So the bot that is to be made should be able to lift things from a height to the ground which will test the accuracy and precision of the bot.
