The document discusses robotics competitions that are important for engineering students. It describes several major robotics competitions including Robotics Olympiad, Robocon, Robotryst, Full Throttle, and Robowars. These competitions involve designing and building robots to complete tasks like racing, fighting, and solving engineering challenges. They provide opportunities for students to apply their engineering skills and gain experience that can help their careers in robotics.

What is Robotics?
The word “robotics” is derived from word Robot.
Robotics is integration of three branches of engineering;
Mechanical, Electrical & Computer Science.
Robotics deals with the design, construction, operation &
application of robots and computer systems for their
control, sensory feedback & information processing.

Laws of robotics
There are basically three laws of Robotics given by science
fiction author Isaac Asimov in his short story “Runaround”
1st law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through
inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2nd law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings,
except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3rd law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such
protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Requirements of robots
• Chassis
Chassis is a mechanical assembly for making a drive platform for the
wheels. Where you can mount any controller board to drive your bot.
This is just the mechanical chassis, it can use 4 DC geared motors, 1
castor and 4 wheels with rubber rings. We can make different type of
chassis according to our need.

• Motors & Wheels
Motors & wheels are used to drive the bot. There are different types of
motors available. The motors should be selected on the basis of torque
required by the bot. wheels are also available in different shape and sizes

Power supply
Power can be supplied to the bot by following sources :-
•By battery
•By solar panel
•Using A.C. supply

Robotics & engineering
During Engineering studies various Robotics
competitions are held at national & international
levels in which teams of students are tasked
with designing and building a robot to play
against other teams from around the world in a
game-based engineering challenge. These
competitions are held on school basis, college
basis and it can also be adapted as a career
option.

14. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, RIET Jaipur
Types of competitions
Robotics is a field born out of the desire to automate. Making things
happen by themselves is
easier said than done. Development of robots involves repeated
planning, trial manufacture, experimentation, analysis, and
improvements. In order to emphasize and import these amongst the
engineering students, several robotic competitions are held around
the world, at institute
level, national level and international level. They are given different
names by different institutes.

• Robotics Olympiads
Robotics Olympiad is a Championship which arises from a vision of building
the most rigorous and diverse competition series in Robotics for School
students in India. Teams from 10+ cities across the country competes in
the city rounds to win the title of “City champions” and progress to the
“Grand Finale”.
Robotics Olympiad aims at building a stronger Technical expertise amongst
the young enthusiasts of today to foster them for bigger innovations in
future. Robotics Olympiad also aspires to encourage participation from
girls to persuade the field of Technology, especially Robotics. In this
pursuit we have taken a step to enhance the same by rewarding girl
participant

robocon
Robocon, short for Robotic Contest, is an interesting game - cum -
intellectual exercise for budding engineers and their enthusiastic
instructors, determined to innovate and create machines for producing
desired results. Participation in this activity is an end - to - end
competitive experience from concept design of a system of robots
programmed to perform according to rules of the game played on a high
precision technical Contest Area and to score a victory beating the
competitors; all this according to a Theme declared by the Host Country.
Robocons organised by Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) and its
member countries including Doordasrshan of India offer young engineers
a platform to innovate and excel in creative thinking. Here, they
demonstrate their technical ideas in robotics, as well as establish cross
cultural contacts in an environment.

robotryst
Robotryst is an IIT Bombay alumni venture named as Robosapiens
Technologies Pvt. ltd. It organises various career oriented training
programs & projects at selective engineering colleges/universities across
India. This highly competitive world of today demands that students not
only learn but transform ideas into reality. Thus, it's mandatory to impart
practical knowledge apart from academics to the visionaries of tomorrow in
their formative years.

Full throttle
Full throttle is a very exciting robot challenge. In this we have to create
an I.C. engine powered wireless remote controlled machine which race
against opponents on an off road dirt track with many hurdles and
obstacles. This competition shows your knowledge about engineering
behind remote controlled cars and feel the effect of ultimate driving
experience. The event requires racing of your self-built cars on a race
track. Although it may look simple to you but you will face cut-throat
competition, and finally it is the quality of the car and driver ability which
will decide the winner

robowars
In this we have to design a wired or wireless robot which is capable of
fighting with the others robots in the tournament. The main aim is to
immobilise or destroy the opponents bot. There are points fixed for
breaking any part or immobilising the opponents’ bot.
There various measures that should be considered while making robots for
RoboWars. They are:-
• Dimensions of bot
• Weight of bot
• Type of weapon installed.
• Amount of power used.

22. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, RIET Jaipur
weapons
The most important part of any robowars is the weapons installed in the
bot weapons can be of different type. The various weapons available are:-
• Cutter
• Hammer
• Lifter
• Pneumatic
• Axe
• We can also use the combinations of it.
