The boundary of the ring arena is marked in white color. The width is 5cm.
3.3 Ring Condition
The ring condition may vary slightly and participants should design and build their robots with robustness in mind.
- GAMES RULES
The tournament shall divide the participating teams into groups of maximum 4 robots. A game consists of 3 matches. Each match shall last for 2 minutes. One point shall be given to every match winner. Zero point shall be given to a draw or a loser. If a game ends with no winner, a test of strength by the two robots immediately after the last match will be the decider.

4.5 Robot Handler
A participant is allowed to handle only one same robot throughout the event. Each robot should
only have one same handler. The handler and robot will be identified during registration and caging.
- CAGING
- CLONING:
6.2 Clones are robots with substantially identical physical appearance and working principles.
