The total elapsed time to complete each run, from 'Start!' signal to Finish line, will be recorded by stopwatch or equivalent.
2)Drag round: The drag Competition shall be vehicle vs. vehicle, on two lanes of full width and matching lengths to the Finish Line. Vehicles advance by “double-elimination” Brackets to determine a Racing Competition Champion, one Finalist (“Second Place”), and two Semi-Finalists (“Third Place tie”).
Also there will be a design contest in which teams need to present the design of their car.
Prior to the competition there will be one more qualification round in which participants need to submit their report on the basis of report top 30 teams will be selected for the event. There will be 30 teams participating in the event for the qualification round then 16 teams will be selected for drag round.

Off-tilted and changing-radius or sharp-radius turns
Sand, gravel, or rock-filled pit
Contraption is a spirited competition for students and is one of the exciting premier events in gravitas. The contraption fosters an interest in engineering by challenging students to create a machine that will accomplish a specific task using a series of steps.It would presented by ASME-VIT. We will have about 50 teams involving 250. Students from all over the country participating in the event.
