DRONE RACING CHALLENGE

The challenge is to build a drone within the specified dimensions that are aerodynamically stable to achieve a successful flight.


Design Specifications.

Specifications:

  1. An individual may participate or construct a team of a maximum 4 members. Any institution (School/College/University/Vocational Institution) or group of students may form a team.
  2. The team has to design and construct a drone (Tri, Quad, or Hexa) with the following specifications:
    • The complete Drone (including Battery and landing gear) should be of length minimum 40cm*40cm (L*B) and maximum 75cm*75cm (LxB) (Measured diagonally – motor shaft to shaft / Wheel Base of the Drone frame)
    • Drone weight maximum 2Kg ( including battery).
  3. There is no restriction on the use of any frame material or specification of the BLDC Motors, Electronic Speed Controllers, Propellers, and Batteries of the Drone.
  4. The Drone must be electrically powered only.
Drone Racing Track:

The field area would be approx. 100 meter square

  1. There are marked/specified regions/spots to take off and land the drone.
  2. Hurdles will be placed at different locations in the arena.
  3. Fields will have arrows marked to depict the manoeuvring path.
  4. Specific checkpoints will be defined in the arena for changing the batteries, adjusting gains, calibration of sensors, etc.
  5. The arena consists of Circular, Rectangular as well as Square shape.
  6. Time will be given to the teams for charging their batteries at the completion of every stage. The requirement of time of charging the batteries during the conduct of competition will not be entertained.
Match Duration:

Matches will consist of 3 minutes of active fight time exclusive of any time-outs. Hence, it is not binding but advisable to keep battery capacity, power usage and machine defences such that they can sustain a 3- minute fight.

Drone Game Play :
  1. Rescue Boxes will be kept in the area, which is picked up by Drone and drop this box in targeted place (Rescue box is about 50 grams).
  2. Points will be awarded after completing each Hurdle with the defined timeline.
  3. Participant get extra point when Rescue box placed in targeted place.
  4. The team completing the round in the minimum time to complete the round and scoring the maximum point will be nominated as the winner of the competition.
The judge’s decision will be final; no requested from participant will be entertained.
