1. Is there any clearance regarding the robot weight as our robots may exceed 50kg?
Yes, all teams have a 8% tolerance from the robot weight that is added to total weight with a deduction of (-10 Points) from the overweighted robot.
2. Are the overweight deduction points being deducted every game?
Yes! The overweighed robot is deducted 10 points before every game.
3. Are the robots that weighs 50kg awarded bonus weight points for committing to the declared 50kg robot weight?
No, Only the overweighed robots being deducted.
4. Is it acceptable to use more than power source in the robot?
Yes, the robot may contain more than power source.
5. What are the limitations on the power source?
Each power source in the robot must not exceed 36V, and there’s no electric current limitations.
6. Is it acceptable to use a power source cells more than 36V?
No, the maximum source voltage must not exceed 36V.
7. What is meant by rule 8.8 in the rule book that describes the total voltage drop?
Rule 8.8 mentions that “The voltage of the power sources used must not exceed 36VDC, also the voltage must not exceed 48VDC between any two points.” That
means that the maximum power cells used in each source must not exceed 36V and the maximum stepped up power must not exceed 48V between any
two power points. Which means also that is not accepted to connect two power sources together in series to get 48V.
8. IS there any power tolerance or clearance in the power source voltage rating, as our batteries may be overcharged with more than 36 voltages?
Yes, there is a 4V tolerance for the batteries overcharging.
9. What are the exact robot dimensions include?
A9: The robot dimensions as mention before in rule 8.5 are (100X100X80) cm (Width X Length X Height), which means that the robot must fit in a virtual
box with the same dimensions as 100cm Width, 100cm Length, and 80cm height.
