Line Follower Robot

⚙ Team Size: 2-4 members • Registration: ₹200

⚙ Event Description

The Line Follower Robot is a mobile machine that can detect and follow the line drawn on the floor. Generally, the path is predefined and can be either visible like a black line on a white surface with high contrasted color or it can be invisible like a magnetic field. This kind of Robot should sense the line with its Infrared Ray (IR) sensors that are installed under the robot. After that, the data is transmitted to the processor by specific transition buses. Hence, the processor decides the proper commands and sends them to the driver, and thus the path will be followed by the line follower robot.

⚙ Bot Specifications

⚙[01]The Robot must be strictly autonomous.

⚙[02]The width of the black or white line will be less than 3cm.

⚙[03]Dimensions of the Robot should be less than 20cm × 20cm × 15cm (L×B×H).

⚙[04]The participants have to ensure that room lighting, photography, etc. does not affect the functioning of the sensors.

⚙[05]If none of the Robots finishes the course, then the one which covered the longest distance in less time will be considered the winner.

⚙[06]Power supply should be of maximum 12-15V.

⚙ General Rules

⚙[01]The Robot has to follow the black line on white background and complete the track in least possible time.

⚙[02]Maximum 3 touches will be allowed for each round. (Each touch makes 5 sec penalty.)

⚙[03]Maximum 4 Participants are allowed in a team (minimum 2).

⚙[04]If the machine remains immobile for respectable time then on the spot decision will be taken by the organizers.

⚙[05]All the tracks will be shown at the time of competition.

⚙[06]Winners will be decided based upon the scores with minimum no. of penalties made.

⚙[07]In case of any tie, winners will be decided based on min. no. of errors. The bot with minimum errors is the winner.

⚙[08]If there are any ties further, type of bot is considered which is more efficient.

⚙[09]Workshop bots are allowed but given less priority.

⚙ Event Procedure

Round 1

Round one consists of basic track. Here the members are shortlisted based on time and charted to Round 2.

Round 2

This consists of complex circuit and is also time taking. The team which completes tracing the track in the minimum time is considered as the winner.

⚙ Organising Committee reserves the right to add and update any rule.
