Line Follower Competition Rules

Rules and Regulations for Line Follower Competition

Robot Specifications

1) The robots must be autonomous. (In other words, no human-operated

remote controls.)

2) The maximum robot width is 8.500 inches, the maximum robot length is 11.000 inches (not much considered).

3) The robot can start in any orientation, but must follow path in specified

direction as specified by the judge at the competition.

4) The microcontroller must be either the PIC or the AVR.

5) There are no constraints on the motor/s.

6) There are no constraints on the sensor array you choose.

7) There are no constraints on battery types or sizes.

8) There are no constraints on robot height n weight.

9) There are no constraints on chassis materials.

10) Source code should be submitted.

Track specifications:

1) There will be no tricks used with respect to the track layout for this

race. Future races will progressively add features to challenge the

Contestants.

2) The width of the track will be 2cm, its black line over white surface.

3) There may be a possibility of having three rounds.

4) First round will be having a basic line tracking.

5) Second round will be having overlapping of the lines.

6) Third round will have perpendicular lines.

dont feel bored of not getting the output....................competition to you may be less....................u may win for your performance........................just try once as we are engineers.............take an introduction to the intresting field of............. ROBOTICS................

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ALL THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Line Follower Competition

Amrita Robotics Club is organising a Line Follower Robot competition. It'll be held on 16th April 2010. The competition rules and regulations for demonstrating your line follower robot in the venue or track will be posted here, soon.

Competition is open to all the stream of engineering students.

Registration fee: Rs.100/-
Up to 2 members in a team.
Prize money: Rs. 1000/-

Further updates will be posted here very soon.

HAM Radio Workshop

Robotics Club of Amritapuri Campus, in association with Quilon Amateur Radio league has conducted two day workshop about "HAM RADIO" on 26-27 October 2009 at E-learning studio, Amritapuri Campus.
Dr. Del Marshall, Professor from Physics Department shared his HAM radio user experiences when he was young.In young age he used to do lot of experiments using various antennas and talk to other hobbyists all over the world.



Quilon Amateur Radio league (QARL) is a famous Radio Club existing in Kollam, Kerala. The members from QARL came and gave presentations with talk in the following topics.
1. Introduction to HAM Radio
2. How to become a HAM
3. How to make a contact
4. Experiences of HAMs
5. Activities of QARL
6. Live Demonstration in VHF

More than 50 students participated on first day for Dr. Del Marshall talk. They are basically from B.Tech Engineering and M.Tech (Wireless Network Applications) students

Trends and Mathematical Modelling on Robotics

Amrita Robotics is arranging a talk on the topic "TRENDS AND MATHEMATICAL MODELLING ON ROBOTICS". The talk is going to deliver by a professor Sudheer A. P. from National Institute of Technology calicut. He is a faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engg who is the faculty incharge of Mechatronics lab in NIT-C. He is going to give talk on the modern trends of research in Robotics using Mathematical modelling and simulation. The talk is arranged on April 7, 2009 at E-learning studio in University mainbuilding. From Amrita Vishwa Vidhya Peetham, Amritapuri campus most of the students have registered for attending the talk. Also some faculty has turned to attend the talk.

PIC workshop

IEEE student chapter of Amritapuri Campus is conducting a PIC workshop for engg students. Any Engg stream student is eligible to participate. Actually the workshop is planned to conduct on six working days from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. This workshop will give a basic training to write program on MPLAB.
