Q: What is the maximum dimension of the bot during the run? Is there any fixed limitation or can we extend the length to any extent as we wish?
Robot should fit into a cubical box of side 30 cm . No part/mechanism of/on
the bot should exceed the given dimensions before the commencement of the event.
However the dimensions can change during the course of the run.
Q: Is it necessary that the actual bot made has to tally with the mechanical design submitted?
It is not neccessary that the two designs tally. BUt in case the team has
won the best mechanical design contest.
Q: Even after taking the bomb outside of city limits, do we still have to diffuse it?
After taking the bomb outside the city limits, you have to diffuse it to
prevent it from exploding. If the bomb explodes in the safe zone, it will still
have negative points however it will be much lesser than what it will get when
it blasts within the city limits.
