Robo Wars:
Participants have to build a combat robot under 5kg- 6kg to fight with an opponent team robot in an arena.
Combat Robot is a robot sport that involves custom-built robots used in different ways to destroy another robot. The machines are remote-controlled and the aim is to disable the opponent's machine.

Weight & Size:
● The maximum weight of the robot should be 5 KG.
● (For every additional 100 grams, 4 points will be deducted from that team score, any robot exceeding 6.5 KG will be disqualified).
● You can compete with more than one robot (multi bots), but their combined weight should not exceed the weight limit.
Safety:
● Any type of Flame or Ballistic Weapon is strictly prohibited.
● All the components mounted on the robot will be counted as part of the robot’s total dimensions.
● All robots will have to pass prior inspection before entering competition.
Scoring:
● If one robot is Destroyed or unable to move, the other team will be declared winner by KO.
(Score won’t matter in case of KO)
● Each match will be of maximum 5 minutes
● If both robots keep fighting for 5 minutes, the winner will be declared after the judges ' decision.
Scoring Criteria:
Damaged any part of an opponent robot: 10 points
Disable opponent movement by lifting or pressing for 5 seconds : 5 points
All participants build and operate Robots at their own risk. Robot Wars is inherently dangerous.
Organizing team has the right to amend the competition rules/duration at any time.
Damage:
In terms of damage, only visible and significant harm to the robot will be considered. Scratches and minor marks won't be counted. However, if any piece, like metal or sheet, is removed from the robot, it will be seen as damage. Also, if any of the robot's functions, such as its weapons, motors, or wheels, are harmed, it will count as damage. The judges will assess this damage at the end of the match.
Weight:
Regarding weight, robots that weigh more than 5 kg will face a penalty of 4 points per 100gm for every additional kilogram. For example, if a robot weighs 5.2 kg, its score will be reduced by 8 points. If a robot's weight goes beyond 6.5 kg, it will be disqualified from the competition.
If a robot exceeds the 6.5 kg limit, it might be allowed a certain time to reduce its weight. If it doesn't meet the weight requirement within this time, it won't be allowed to continue in the competition. The team is responsible for ensuring their robot's weight complies with the rules, and any changes made during the competition should not make it overweight. The robots will be weighed before the competition begins, and the weight limit will be strictly enforced.
Sub-Category Description: Bounty Hunter
After the main RoboWars matches have concluded and a winner has been declared, a thrilling bonus sub-category will commence. In this unique challenge, any participant can step forward to challenge the winning robot to a one-on-one duel. If the challenger defeats the current champion, they become the new reigning robot. This process continues, with the last bot standing after all challenges have been completed being crowned the Bounty Hunter Champions winner. This ultimate champion will receive a special cash prize and a separate shield.
Rules:
Each robot is allowed to challenge the reigning champion only once during this sub-category.
The winner of each duel continues to face new challengers until no more challenges are issued.
The last robot standing after all duels have been fought will be declared the winner of this sub-category.
Prizes: The final winner will receive a separate cash prize and a shield in addition to the recognition as the ultimate champion of the RoboWars.
Robo Soccer:
Robo Soccer is an exciting competition where teams of remote-controlled robots compete to score goals against each other within a set time limit. Teams must design and operate their robots to navigate the field and outmaneuver their opponents, showcasing their technical skills and strategic thinking.! ⚽
University and School teams will compete in separate pools, with separate winners and cash prizes for both categories.
Once turned on, the robot will compete with another robot, and the robot with a greater number of points will be the winner.
Each team can have a maximum of 2-4 members.
Students from different institutes/universities can form a team in collaboration.
The maximum size of the robot should be 12x12x12 inches.
The maximum weight of the robot should be 1 kg.
Lego and Ev-3 Kits are allowed.
All components mounted on the robot will be counted as part of the robot’s total dimensions.
All robots will undergo a prior inspection before entering the competition. Any robot exceeding these limits will be immediately disqualified.
Once the robot moves, team members are not allowed to touch the robot.
All types of transmitter and receiver modules are allowed, such as Bluetooth modules, NodeMCU, etc.
Any type of microcontroller is allowed.
There is no limit on the number and types of motors used in the robot.
Any kind of motor driver IC or module can be used.
Power sources that are considered dangerous or unsuitable by the judges will not be permitted.
The voltage of the robot's electrical power source must not exceed 16 V or (4s) DC. Power banks may be used.
Each round will be a maximum of 2 minutes.
Timing shall start once the start signal is given.
If the robot is not working due to some reason, a timeout is allowed.
There is only one timeout allowed for a team within the 2-minute duration of the match.
The following behavior may lead to disqualification by the referee
Attempting to damage the game field.
Performing any act that fails to comply with the spirit of fair play.
Each goal scored by a team by rolling the ball into the opponent’s goal will fetch the team 1 point.
The ball can be either kicked, dragged, or pushed by the team to score a goal.
In case of a jam-up of robots for more than 10 seconds, the robots will have to kick off again at the order of the referee.
Robots are not allowed to use grippers or actuations intended to harm the opponent’s robot. If done so, it will lead to a deduction of 1 point.
The team with the greater number of points after the round has finished will be considered the winner.
A team can have multiple robots controlled by multiple players, but the sum of all bots should not exceed a maximum weight of 1.2 kg
Flip-O-Bots: Pakistan’s First Robot Flipping Showdown! 🔥
Welcome to Flip-O-Bots, a first-of-its-kind robot battle event in Pakistan, where size doesn’t matter — but the flip does! In this thrilling new category, tiny titans weighing under 1.5 kg will enter a compact square arena with one goal: FLIP or BE FLIPPED. Think fast, flip smart — the bot with the most flips wins eternal robotic glory!
Do you have what it takes to create the ultimate flipping machine?
🧠 Concept Overview:
Two bots enter a square arena.
The objective is to flip your opponent as many times as possible within the match duration.
Bots can use servo-powered flipping arms or mechanisms, but no kinetic spinning weapons.
Agility, strategy, and control will win over brute force.
📜 Rules & Regulations:
Match Rules:
The match will take place in a closed square arena.
Each match will last 2 minutes.
The robot that flips its opponent the most number of times wins the match.
A successful flip is when the opponent’s bot is turned upside down or on its side
If the match ends in a tie, an extra 30-second sudden death round will be played.
Touching the robot during a match is not allowed.
No external control interference or map assistance is allowed.
Flipping attempts that cause both robots to go airborne or flip will not be counted as valid flips.
Robot Specifications:
Maximum weight: 1.5 kg.
Robots over 1.5 kg will be disqualified, with no margin for excess.
Maximum dimensions: 12 x 12 inches.
Power source: max 4S (16V) battery.
Servo-based flipping mechanisms are allowed.
No kinetic energy weapons (e.g., spinning blades, flywheels, or hammers).
No fire, projectiles, liquids, or entanglement mechanisms allowed.
All robots will go through a technical and safety inspection before the match.
Robots must have a clearly marked power ON/OFF switch.
Arena:
The arena will be a flat, enclosed square platform, designed to contain and visually emphasize flips.
The floor may include minor ramps or bumps to challenge balance and agility.
🏆 Why Compete in Flip-O-Bots?
Be part of Pakistan’s first-ever flipping robot battle.
Show off your mechanical innovation and servo mastery.
Win prizes, shields, and eternal bragging rights.
Inspire a new generation of creative robotics challenges.
