AQUABOT: A cleaning ro-boat competition is competition under the event AAVISHKAR 18. The main motive of this competition is to clean the waste present in any water sources like lake or river. Robots participating in this competition have to clear the waste in the form of slits from the surface of water. For this two robots will be competing each other to collect the slits and reach the opponent base by crossing through different checkpoints. The details of the event are given below:

1. 1. Two robots will compete in the game arena at a time
2. 2. Each participating robot has to complete the path within 5 minutes of time.
3. 3. Two robots will have different starting point and will be assigned checkpoint of different color.
4. 4. Starting point of opponent robot will be end point.
5. 5. The slits are scattered on the surface of water. The robot must collect slits on the basis of which points are awarded to each team.
6. 6. The slits may be spherical or cubical in shape.
7. 7. The participant must cross the entire checkpoint before reaching the opponents base.
8. 8. The robot must cross the checkpoint which they are assigned.
9. 9. A checkpoint is crossed if the robot passes through the ring.
10. 10.If robot needs to be reset, the robot is placed just behind the nearest checkpoint it crossed.
11. 11.The robot to reach the opponent base with more point will be declared winner.
12. 12.There will be four rounds of the contest:
1. League Round: Top 8 Teams will go to next round.
2. Quarterfinal Round: Top 4 Teams will go to next round.
3. Semifinal Round: Two Teams will go to next round. Second Runner-Up will be determined.
4. Final Round: Winner and First Runner-Up will be determined.

1. 1. The Robots can be controlled through wireless remote only.
2. 2. The use of ready made toys is not allowed but one can use modules or circuits.
3. 3. Power supply should be on board only and the electric voltage between 2 points anywhere in the machine should not be more than 24V DC at any point of time.
4. 4. Participants are allowed only to make (n-2) restarts during the game where n stands for number of checkpoints.
5. 5. The name of the team must be a unique one with a team leader specified and only team leader can operate the robot.
