ROBO-SUMO.| LUMINAIRE | KIITFEST-2017

EVENT DETAILS FOR ROBO-SUMO: 
TASK: 

Team has to build an autonomous robot that can keep track of the current position of itself as well 
as the position of the rival bot with the help of the provided server and Bluetooth module in the 
provided grid. The bots need to find each other using the information provided by the server. On 
first contact of the bots, each of the bot will attempt to push the other bot out of the arena and the 
one that succeeds to perform the task will be declared as the winner i.e. the bot that comes out of 
the arena first will lose the match. 
ARENA: 

The game field consists of an arena having dimensions 2400 mm X 2400 mm (l x b). 
It consists of the following: 
1. The arena is composed of 7 x 7 cells. 
2. The arena is divided into cells using white strips of width 50mm. 
3. Each square cell has a side of 300mm and is black in colour. 
4. All the distances are shown in fig. 1. 
The figure 1 below shows the sample arena. The actual arena at the competition may contain 
slight variations. 
Note: The dimensions of the arena will be accurate to within 5% or 20 mm, whichever is less. 

GAMEPLAY: 

The game consists of two parts: 
1. (a) Finding the rival bot: 
Each bot needs to keep the server updated with its current position i.e. current cell 
number with the help of Bluetooth module. The bot needs to locate the rival bot by 
receiving the real-time location of the bots provided by the server. 
(b) Push the rival bot outside the arena: 
On their first contact the bot needs to push the rival bot out of the arena. 
2. A total of 10 minutes would be provided to complete the task. In case the bots fail to 
complete the task within the time limit, the winner would be decided as per the tie rules. 
NOTE: In case the bots are unable to find each other within the time limit, the bot that has 
travelled the maximum distance towards the half of the arena of the rival bot will be declared 
as the winner of the game. In case of a further tie, a 5 minute extra gameplay would be 
provided to decide the winner. 
The 2D Matrix to be followed and according to which the server would send and receive 
the information about the current position is: 
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
