Rostruct is a robotics-based competition that will be conduc ted in two stages where participants will get an opportunity to visualize real-life problems and forge their innovative solutions to simulate and bu ild hardware without any investment of money.
\n
\nConduction of Event:
\n
\n• Participation:
\n• Individual or in a te am with a maximum of 2 members.
\n• There is no participation fee.< br />\n• The event consists of two stages. Both the stages will be condu cted online.
\n• Registration period: 20 October 2021 to 9 November 2021.
\n
\nStage 1:
\n• Stage 1 is a simulation round\, where participants can simulate either on the CoppeliaSim(V-REP) or MATLAB -Simulink platform. The links for tutorials for using both platforms are p rovided at the end of the rulebook.
\n• The problem statements for stage 1 will be shared via email to the registered participants on 10 Nove mber 2021 along with the judging criteria and other details(including the exact submission format).
\n• The submission of the simulation will be taken through the google form\, whose link will be shared through the mail. Participants have to upload all their files on GitHub along with a r eadme file showing the details and a drive link for the video of the simul ation.
\n
\nNOTE: Any participant who submits a GitHub repo with out a readme file will bedisqualified.
\n
\n• A total time per iod of one week will be given to the participants for submitting the simul ation. We would accept responses till 11:59 pm\, 16 November 2021.
\n (Note: No submission after the mentioned deadline will be considered).
\n
\nStage 2:
\n• Stage 2 is a hardware-based round where th e participant has to actually build a physical robot.
\n• Top 10 pa rticipants from stage 1 will be shortlisted for stage 2\, the results of w hich will be shared via email by 20 November 2021.
\n• The particip ants will be given a set of problem statements for stage 2 (which may be d ifferent from stage 1).
\n
\n• The exact details of stage 2 (i ncluding the problem statements) will be announced later to the shortliste d participants via email on 20 November 2021.
\n• All the shortlist ed participants have to present their robots to us online and explain thei r solutions on 11 December 2021. The presentations will be live judged on an online platform. The details of the judging criteria and the presentati on guidelines will be shared later.
\n• The participants will there fore get a time period of 3 weeks (20 Nov to 10 Dec) for building their ro bots.
\n
\nPrize Policy:
\n
\n• All the participants who submit the simulations will get a certificate of participation from A malthea\, IIT Gandhinagar.
\n• The top 10 participants in stage 1 w ill get an additional certificate of competence from Amalthea\, IIT Gandhi nagar.
\n• The shortlisted participants will be given a reimburseme nt of up to INR 4000 for the parts they purchase for making the robot for stage 2.
\n• The prize distribution for the top 3 participants in s tage 2 is as follows:
\nFirst Prize: INR 15\,000
\nSecond Prize: INR 10\,000
\nThird Prize: INR 5\,000
\n
\nRules and Regul ations:
\n• Plagiarism is strictly not allowed and may lead to dire ct disqualification of the participant/team.
\n• Multiple entries a re not allowed. In the case of team participation\, only the team leader h as to submit the files.
\n• The money will be reimbursed only if th e participant/team has presented their model on the presentation day(11 De c 2021).
