All that you need to know about Multirotor Rules: Team Structure: Each team must consist of a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 members. Participants from different colleges can form a team. Model Regulations: Each team must have its own custom-built drone; exchanging models between teams is strictly prohibited. RTF (Ready-To-Fly) models are not allowed, but pre-programmed boards can be used. Only one model can be used throughout all competition rounds. Flight and Conduct Rules: No trial attempts are allowed in Round 1, but teams can have a 2-minute trial before Round 2. Lifting the drone manually to improve position during any round is not allowed. Any failed landing attempt that does not result in a score immediately ends the round. The competition organizers and judges hold the final decision on any disputes. Event Structure: Round 1: Teams must fly their drone through 5 circular rings placed at varying heights (between 1 meter to 2.5 meters). Each ring carries different points based on difficulty. Teams must avoid touching the rings to earn points. Skipping a ring results in no points but does not incur a penalty. Maximum time for completion: 8 minutes. Qualification Criteria: Teams with the highest scores will advance to Round 2. Round 2: Obstacle Navigation: Teams must maneuver through multiple obstacles, which will be disclosed on the spot. Payload Task: The onboard camera scans a QR code to identify a specific payload. If scanning fails, teams can receive the QR details manually but will lose detection points. The identified payload must be dropped into a designated area. No penalty for unsuccessful drops, but no points are awarded either.
