LINE FOLLOWER
A line tracker is an autonomous machine which senses a given line and tracks it. This mechanism turns up as an application in real time in performing different redundant industrial tasks (say point to point transportation / identification).
RULES
- It has two rounds:
1. Qualifying Round
In this round, the basic line following mechanism is tested. The robot should reach the end point without deviating from the line. It is mandatory to clear the qualifying round to progress for the further rounds. A maximum of two trials (changes may be made by coordinators at the time of event) are given to each team.
2. Final Round
The robot should begin from the start point and reach the end point. Similar to the qualifying round, the path consists of junctions, curves, misleading paths. The entire path should be traversed by the robot to progress into the final round.
➢ If in case the bot stops automatically, due to technical reasons an additional 15 seconds will be added to the final time
➢ Arena for the final round will not be revealed until the day of the event
➢ The course line is black and made on white coloured flex sheet
➢ A maximum of 4 participants are allowed in a team
➢ The Robot should be completely autonomous. It should not receive any sort of external assistance
➢ Bots built by participants are only allowed. (Ready kits are not allowed) - ➢ At any point of the time, only one robot is allowed into the arena with only one participant if necessary
➢ The Robot must deal with lighting conditions prevailing on the day of event
➢ The participant cannot change the orientation of the robot after seeing the path
➢ A maximum of four participants are allowed per team. Participants may be from different colleges as well
➢ No team is allowed to check their robot trials on the arena
➢ The selection into the next round is based upon the performance (time) in the previous round
➢ Judge’s decision is final.
