Design document and video submission is started through online mode. The details are send through email and whats app group to all mentors. The details are also available on website (https://www.ihfc.co.in/important- announcements/robotics-for-good-youth-challenge-india/).

60 Teams (30 teams in each category).

Each participating team or individual must submit the design documents, including details of the robot (please refer to the design template on the website), along with a 90-second video demonstrating the robot in action.

Yes

Unfortunately, for those teams who did not qualify during the document and video submission rounds, there are no additional provisions or compensations available. We understand that the students have invested significant time and resources, and we truly appreciate their ef orts. However, only teams that meet the qualification criteria can advance to the next stages of the competition. We encourage the participants to take this experience as a learning opportunity and continue to engage in future challenges.

The game duration is 2 minutes. Whether the robots start simultaneously or one after the other depends on the respective team’s strategy. If starting simultaneously, the positioning on the starting line will be determined by the team according to their strategy. Size of Robot should fit into 540 * 300 mm2 area.

The arena will have neutral white lighting (4000K-5000K) with even intensity, ensuring clear visibility without shadows or glare, providing a comfortable and professional environment for participants and spectators.

Brown block are the wooden blocks located at the middle of the competition field.

The density and volume of the Red and Green blocks are 550-750 kg/m³ and 45 cm³, respectively, resulting in a weight between 24.75 and 33.75 grams. The density and volume of the Brown blocks are 550-750 kg/m³ and 25.92 cm³, respectively, leading to a weight between 14.25 and 19.44 grams.

Below specifications for one Competition Field:

a) Red Wooden block: Material: MDF wood Number: 11 Shape: Cuboid Dimensions: 30 x 30 x 50 mm (length, width, height)

b) Green Wooden Block Material: MDF wood Number: 12 Shape: Cuboid Dimensions: 30 x 30 x 50 mm (length, width, height) c) Brown Wooden Block: Material: MDF wood Number: 48 Shape: Cuboid Dimensions: 120 x 24 x 9 mm (length, width, height)

Please refer to the drawing under the heading 'Position of the Red, Green, and Brown Wooden Blocks' in the rulebook.

Red wooden blocks represent wounded individuals, while Green wooden blocks represent those who have been evacuated. The Brown blocks in the center represent collapsed building structures.

The locations of the Red and Green blocks are provided in the drawing under the 'Position of the Red, Green, and Brown Wooden Blocks' heading in the rulebook.

Three blocks: Red (11), Green (12) and Brown (48).

No. The team has to build their robot from scratch.

It should be the same as the preliminary round submission.

It's up to the team's strategy. The score points for each block are outlined under the 'Operation of the Game' heading in the rulebook.

The path is broken, and there are no rules or points associated with it.

The heights of the two long and short border walls are 65 ± 2 mm, while the hospital's lateral walls have a height of 55 ± 2 mm. This results in a clearance of 120 ± 4 mm under the hospital roof, which is greater than the height of the red and green blocks, each of which is 50 mm.

You can use two robots in a game at any level. However, each robot must pass homologation. If you are not using a robot, it should be powered off .

For first elimination round pairings will be made so that the top-ranked team faces the last-ranked team, the second-ranked team against the second-to-last team, and so on. Those teams that cannot be ranked will not continue playing. During the second elimination round, the team that obtains the highest score in each game (matches between team in above pairing strategy) will move on to the next round. The position of the blocks will be the same at each round of competition (but dif erent for Junior and senior category).

The participants are free to choose their own strategy.

You can use two robots in both elimination rounds 1 and 2. However, both robots must pass homologation and fit within the 540 x 300 mm rectangle.

The game field will look similar for both the Junior and Senior categories.
