The participating bots should be wireless and controlled remotely. It can be circular / Rectangular in style. Bot must fit inside a 30 centimeters wide and 40 centimeters high cube at any point in time. Maximum weight should not be more than 7Kgs (including battery for wirelessly controlled bots. However, a tolerance of 5% is acceptable.). Additionally, the top of the robot must adhere to the standard pattern size and surface constraints. Dribbling devices that actively exert spin on the ball, which keep the ball in contact with the robot are permitted under certain conditions. Participants need to ensure:
- Each team should have three robots for the full tournament. The substitution of robots during the competition within the team or with other teams is forbidden.
- Batteries must be sealed, immobilized electrolyte type (gel cell, lithium, NiCad, or dry cells).
- The electric voltage anywhere in the machine can used up to 24V DC at any point in time for each robot.
- Each robot must carry a top marker (1, 2, and 3) unique identity so that it can be distinguished by the referee easily. Unmarked Robots are not eligible to play.
- The robot must not emit infrared light. However, optical sensors (e.g. infrared-distance-sensors) may be used if they do not affect other robots.
- Infrared light-reflecting materials must not be used on the outside. If robots are painted, they must be painted matte. Minor parts that reflect infrared light could be used only if other robots are not affected. Robots must not produce magnetic interference for other robots on the field.
- If a team claims that their robot is affected by the other team’s robot in any way they must show proof/evidence of the interference. Any interference must be confirmed by a Referee if a claim is placed by the other team.
- The robot can be autonomous or manually controlled using a Remote-control system.
- Robots must be constructed and programmed in a way that their movement is not limited to only one dimension and must move in all directions.
- Any robotic parts/building material can be used until the robot meets the above specifications and if the design and construction are primarily the original work of the team as ready-made robots are not allowed to compete in the competition.
Tournament balls: The diameter of the ball must be 42mm (+- 5mm). A well-balanced ball shall be used. The ball must be able to resist wear and tear during the gameplay.
