Safety Rules

Compliance with all event rules is mandatory. It is expected that competitors stay within
the rules and procedures of their own accord and do not require constant policing.

1. Special care should be taken to protect the on-board batteries, robot
without proper protection will not be allowed to compete.

2. If you have a robot or weapon design that does not fit within the categories
set forth in these rules or is in some way ambiguous or borderline, please
contact the event organizers. Safe innovation is always encouraged, but
surprising the organizers with your brilliant exploitation of a loophole may
cause your robot to be disqualified before it even competes.

3. Each event has safety inspections. It is at their sole discretion that your
robot is allowed to compete. As a builder you are obligated to disclose all
operating principles and potential dangers to the inspection staff.

4. Proper activation and deactivation of robots is critical. Robots must only
be activated in the arena, testing areas, or with expressed consent of the
event coordinators.

5. All weapons must have a safety cover on any sharp edges.
6. All participants build and operate robots at their own risk. Combat robotics

is inherently dangerous. There is no amount of regulation that can
encompass all the dangers involved. Please take care to not hurt yourself
or others when building, testing and competing. Any kind of activity
(repairing, battery handling, etc.) which may cause damage to the
surroundings during the stay of the teams in the competition area should
not be carried out without the consent of organizers. Not following this rule
may result in disqualification.
7. All the resources provided at the time of competition from the organizers
should be strictly used only after the consent of the organizers.
8. Once the robots have entered into the arena, no team member can enter
into the arena at any point of time. In case if a fight has to be halted in

between and some changes have to be done in the arena or condition on

the robot(s), it will be done by organizers only.

9. Participants must tie all the wires together properly and pass it through a

40 cm long solid pipe to avoid unnecessary cutting and tangling of wires of

the robots.

1. Sky – Gazing

Sky – Gazing is an event where amateurs come with an astronomical interest to
observe the night sky unveil its magic. These observations are generally
accomplished with the naked eye or with basic optical aids such as telescope.
With the help of these instruments, many celestial objects can be viewed and
adored.
Rules and Regulations:

 No boys or girls are allowed to roam around the campus.
 No one is allowed to move or touch the telescope or other basic optical

aids without prior permission. These instruments are expensive and only
meant for Sky – Gazing.
 In and around the session, no one is allowed to bring flashlights or light
emitting objects because it might harness the Sky watching process.

 Guest Lecture

Astronomy/Cosmology is an everyday expanding knowledge; it never gets
completely traversed like an infinite universe. This year, Brahmand, the
astronomy club of PDPU is presenting another enlightening outsource of cosmic
knowledge – a Guest Lecture in this Tesseract-2017, where students will have a
chance to quench their curiosity and interact with the lecturer. At the end, Q&A
will be held so you can clear your head.
