   Content:
   DD number
   Participant details (Participant's name, email id, contact number)
   Attachment: Scanned copy of the DD.
   Courier us the DD at the below mentioned address -
   Techfest Office,
   Students’ Gymkhana,
   IIT Bombay,
   Powai,
   Mumbai - 400076
   
   Your registration will be confirmed once we receive the DD. Your DD should reach us by 20th December, 2012.
   The following details should be written on the back side of the DD:

Scoring System

1. 5 points will be awarded for moving to the correct coordinate.
2. 10 points will be awarded displaying a correct grid cell colour code, if a bot displays all the four grid cell colour correctly at a coordinate it will gain 20 bonus points.
3. 30 points will be awarded if a bot successfully enters finishing zone but these 30 points will only be awarded only if the bot moves to atleast one of the coordinate and also displays its colour code correctly.

The team which completes the task with maximum points will be the winner.

In case no team finishes the task, team with highest points will be the winner. To evaluate in this case differential marking has been done at various checkpoints.

In case of a tie, the team who has taken least time will be the winner.

Team Specification

A team may consist of a maximum of 3 members. Students from different educational institutes can form a team.

Eligibility

All students with a valid identity card of their respective educational institutes are eligible to participate.

Certificate Policy

Certificate of excellence will be awarded to the top 3 winners.
Certificate of participation will be awarded to the teams with a score of atleast 15 points
Disqualified teams will not be considered for any certificates.
