• • There are TWO rounds per group:
  1. Elimination Round (MCQ's Round)
  2. Coding Round (Final Round)
  • Owing to the vast nature of the programming language, the event will be conducted in two categories, Junior Level and Senior Level.
  • The competition will test the participants' programming skills and knowledge of C/C++ and Python.
  • Python Language option will be available only for First Year (FE) participants.
  • Teams can register at the registration desk on the day of the event, 1 hour prior to the event. Teams can also register at desks put up at various colleges in Pune.
  • The Second Round structure will be declared on the spot.
  • NOTE: Only one computer will be provided to each team.
  

• 1) The competition will test participants programming skills and knowledge of C/C++ and Python
• 2) Time and cost efficiency of the code.

1) A team of max. four members is allowed to participate.
2) Machine should be of dimensions 8ft x 8ft x 8ft (maximum).
3) Minimum 10 steps should be involved to complete the task otherwise team will be disqualified. However there is no constrain on maximum no. of steps.
4) Minimum 4 different energy conversion should be implemented in machine. Otherwise team will be disqualified.
5) Machine should perform the task in maximum of 4 minutes.
6) Machine should not take support of any of four walls and ceiling.
7) Teams have to submit abstract and flowchart in prescribed format well before the deadline for first round.
8) Maximum of three trials/chances will be given to any team. For every other chance/trial there will be deduction of points.
9) For every next chance reset time of 15 mins will be given to team.
10) Only one team member is allowed to interact with the machine once the evaluation has begun. This includes resetting the machine during the run. This means that only one person will be allowed inside the arena. However, if the team goes for another run, the restriction of one person inside the arena is uplifted until the machine is ready for the other run.
11) That person will explain about the machine and each step going on to judges.
12) Each step in the machine should be considered as the transfer of one energy into another .A step is considered to accomplish when there is energy transformation. Example ball coming down from the wedge and hitting the domino is consider a step. In this potential energy of ball gets changed into kinetic energy while coming down and when it hits the domino, it transfers its energy to domino.
13) Identical transfers of energy in succession should be considered one step. For eg., a set of dominos falling into each other should be considered one step. While technically each single domino falling is a step, stating one hundred steps for hundred dominos is repetitive and against the spirit of Rube Goldberg.
14) You can use any material for making of your machine provided in any case , they does not lead damage to arena and other machines. Otherwise it will lead to disqualification of team.
15) Hazardous materials are not allowed and any gas or any explosives are also not allowed . However you can use matchstick if required provided it does not damage the arena and any other Machine.
