ROBOTHON
Robothon is one of the hallmark events of IEEE GIKI Chapter. Over the years, Robothon has successfully accomplished the task to provide a national platform for the competition of robots. Talented individuals from all over Pakistan pit their fast moving robots against each other on this arena. In this event, the contestants robot must move along an intricate track containing a number of checkpoints. The robots must pass through each checkpoint and an inability to do so will cost the contestant precious points. The general rules adhering to this competition are discussed below.

GENERAL RULES
Only 3-4 members per team are allowed. There will be a 3cm wide White line on blue background. The robot must pass through the check points (A, B, C, D) in sequence and return to the end point. The individual score of the checkpoints is as follows: o o o o Checkpoint A: 20 pts Checkpoint B: 20 pts Checkpoint C: 20 pts Checkpoint D: 40 pts

The robot should fit in a box of 30*30*30 cm and the bigger robots will be disqualified. Robot that can damage the track in any sense will be disqualified. There is no limit on the voltage of batteries but the power source must be attached to the robot and the operator can not touch the robot once it has been started. Only dry batteries can be used. A robot that goes off the track for over 15 seconds will be disqualified. A robot shall be deemed to have left the arena when all wheels have moved completely off the track In the first round, teams will be shortlisted on the basis of their track points. In the second round, a robot will be declared victorious with the least completion time.

For each robot, there are a maximum of 5 minutes for any number of tries. However, the fastest run will be
considered. A retry means that the robot has to start from the beginning.

THE FIGURE 8
The figure 8 is yet another thoroughly entertaining event. This is a hot pursuit of sorts in which two robots have to chase down the other in order to win while staying on track the entire time. Contestants will have to employ masterful logic and intelligent construction of robots in order to gain an advantage over their opponents.

GENERAL RULES
Only 2-3 members per team are allowed. There will be a White line on blue background and the line will be 3cm wide. The robot should fix in a box of 30*30*30 cm. The bigger robots will be disqualified. Robot that can damage the track in any sense will be disqualified. There is no limit on the voltage of batteries but the power source must be attached to the robot and the operator cannot touch the robot once it has been started. Only dry batteries can be used. Only Lego and logic based robots are allowed.

ROUNDS DESCRIPTION:
TIME-LAPSE ROUND: In the first round, the teams will be shortlisted on the basis of their individual track completion time. In this round only 3 consecutive retries are allowed. KNOCK-OUT ROUND: There is a knock out competition of a parallel robots race in which two robots will compete against each other. Two robots will start off at the same time from different check points. The one that catches the other robot wins. The one which deviates from the line loses. Max time duration allowed 90 s. The robot that travels the most distance wins. There are no retries in the knockout round.

ROBOMAZE
The concept behind RoboMaze is taken from warfare like using tanks in a battlefield. Your robot, similar to the tank that takes instructions. detects the colour code that is displayed at the arena. Each colour codes means a different exit route which has to be adopted by the robot. There are four flags in the maze each of which carry points.

NOTE: The dots in the arena are shown to indicate distance according to the scale set in figure. The dots in the walls are shown in the figure as a measure of distance according to the scale set. They will not be part of the actual arena.

GENERAL RULES
6 members per team are allowed at maximum. The contest arena as shown in figure 1 consists of two routes coded as P1 and P2. The colour codes shown at L will be black or yellow. The yellow colour code corresponds to route P2 and black colour code corresponds to route P1. The robot will have to take the route as specified by the colour shown at L. The maze is made of white coloured laminated wooden walls of height 15cm. The floor of the maze will also be made up of white laminated wood. Throughout the maze the track width is 50cm. Each robot is made available 4 flags during its designated route, one before the gate and three in its exit route. Flags are simply check points which appear in a longer route to the destination. They are included to test the robots speed and agility. They are labelled as F in the figure. The P1 and P2 routes as shown in the figure are fixed and have to be chosen by the robot according to the colour shown at point L.

SCORING
Each flag yields 10 points for the team. The teams overall score is calculated as follows:

Total score = (Flag points = 4 flags*10 points/flag) + (Entering the correct coloured path = 20 points) + (Crossing the exit line = 20 points) + (Bonus for collecting all the four flags= 30 points) = 110 points max. Robots scoring equal points will be judged on the basis of arena completion time. The team which completes the arena in the shortest time will be shortlisted for next rounds.

ROBOT OPERATION
Once turned on, the robot must be autonomous without any human intervention. Remote control of any sort cannot be used. Contestants are not allowed to enter the arena or touch their robots after start-up. The robot must direct itself to point L first. After detecting the colour, the robot must enter the corresponding exit route and navigate itself to the exit point. A robot can will get the points of crossing the exit line even if it doesnt passes all the four flags.

NAVIGATION THROUGH THE MAZE

Robot may navigate the maze using any suitable technique. During operation, the robot might touch the walls of the maze without damaging the arena. Tactile sensors are not allowed to sense the walls. Robot will be given a total of 4 minutes to navigate through the arena. Only proximity IR sensors are allowed in this module.

ROBOWARS
It is our goal to advance the sport of Robotic Combat in Pakistan. We aim to encourage the Pakistani inventors, engineers and mad tinkers out there to turn their dream machines into solid metal and put it on the line and in the zone to build the ultimate destruction machine!

GENERAL RULES
2 Robots will go head to head in a single round Maximum number of participants in a team can be 4. Contestant must knock out the opponent from arena or disable the opponent in limited time If neither happens, the robot taking the least damage (primarily based on functionality) during a round will be declared the winner. Match duration will be between 5-7 minutes. Maximum weight limit is 25kg Robot dimensions (upper limit) 3ft x 3ft x 2ft. (l x w x h) Robots must be radio controlled Robots should be operational at least 2 frequencies in order to avoid two robots of the same frequency All contestants will be asked to send their frequencies via email before the event. A maximum of 48 volts DC or AC will be allowed. Modifications to the robot once technically checked are prohibited. On the event day, robots will be measured and weighed to make sure they abide by the rules. A mobility test will be taken prior to the competition in order to make sure that the robots are functional. Robots will also be awarded points based on their designs and weaponry. You are required to notify us regarding what frequency you will be using when you register for this event along with the name of the robot and the names of members. The event will not take place if less than 4 robots register for the event.

WOMEN IN ENGINEERING (WIE)

SPEAK IT UP
This module is designed to enable the students to learn about the ethical and professional dimensions of decision making that companies employ when tasked with solving a problem on a national scale. The problem will exist in a fictional state of Anarchistan and will probably be a crisis situation. For example, an earthquake has hit the state of Anarchistan and the government is approaching private companies for the rescue efforts. As part of the aiding company, you are to come up with an efficient plan based on an innovative idea, which can be executed with relative ease to avert the crisis, all the while reducing the governments overall expenditure on the project and making a reasonable profit for your own company. Remember this is just an example. Contestants will be provided with a problem scenario. This scenario will be disclosed on the official IEEE GIKI webpage and NEO Facebook page. (links provided in the end of the document), once registrations commence.

GENERAL RULES
A maximum of 3 members are allowed per team. Contestants will be provided with a problem scenario. You are required to formulate an idea and provide an efficient solution for the given problem. The module will consist of three rounds. 1st round consists of an elevator pitch competition and executive summary submission. The executive summary and elevator pitch, carry 30 points and 20 points respectively. Participants are required to submit their executive summary at least a day prior to the start of NEO 14. In the 2nd round, the competing teams will have to give a full business presentation and convince the chairs about their idea. The business presentation carries 60 points. The presentations must not exceed 30 minutes in duration, else scores will be penalized. Each individual presentation will be followed by a 10 minute question and answer session. Competing teams are strongly encouraged to ask difficult questions. After the 2nd round, elimination will take place and only the top 8 teams will advance to the final round, based on their cumulative score. Details on the final round will only be disclosed after the 2nd round elimination. Prizes will be awarded to Winner and runner up. Registrations will commence form January 1st.
