RoboQuest: Design the Ultimate Drag-and-Place Bot
Calling all young engineers and robotics enthusiasts!
Get ready to unleash your creativity and problem-solving skills in Kreativity League 2024's
RoboQuest challenge. Your mission: design and build, a wirelessly controlled robot that can
navigate a complex arena, strategically drag objects, and precisely relocate them.
The RoboQuest Controller is compulsory for this challenge and contains all the necessary
components you will need.
The Challenge:
You must use a multiple-piece chassis from any kit to design a unique and innovative robot,
showcasing your engineering ingenuity. As part of the challenge, participants will have to solve a 3-
letter word from jumbled blocks and form the word given to them on the spot.
Your Robot Must:
● Be wirelessly controlled using the RoboQuest Controller.
● Use BO DC motors with a maximum speed of 150 RPM (Tested on a Tachometer).
● Navigate the arena manually, following pre-programmed instructions.
● Efficiently drag and reposition objects within the arena.
● Adhere to all size, weight, and electrical specifications (Detailed in the RoboQuest Rules
and Regulations).
● Only mobile phones can be used for robot control (No RC Remotes).
Prizes:
● Grand Prize: A life-changing trip to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)!
● Additional Prizes: Exciting rewards for top-performing teams and individual
achievements.

Specifications, Rules & Regulations:
1. Robot Specifications:
The main part of the robot's dimensions must not exceed 25 cm X 25 cm X 20 cm (LxWxH)
during the initial inspection, excluding the dragging part but including the wheels. However, the
bot can extend its size once the run begins. A tolerance of ±5% is allowed.
∙ Only ONE RoboQuest Controller is allowed for programming and control.
2. Control Mechanism: The bot must be controlled using a RoboQuest Controller.
3. Wireless Communication Integration: Only a maximum of one Bluetooth is allowed for this
purpose. And a mobile application for controlling the bot using Bluetooth connectivity is allowed.
4. Ready-made Assemblies: Participants are not allowed to use ready-made mechanical
assemblies in their robots. Participants must use multiple piece chassis from any kit to design
a unique and innovative robot.
5. Power Supply: AC power supply will not be provided or allowed during the competition.
6. Wheel Specifications and Restrictions:
Maximum overall diameter: 8 cm Maximum width: 2 cm
Omni-directional wheels are not allowed
7. Electrical Specifications:
∙ The battery used for the Bot should not exceed 12V.
∙ Participants must provide an additional power source for the final built bot used in the
competition.
8. Motor Specifications: Motors used should be BO DC motors with a maximum speed of 150
RPM.
9. Arena and Block Setup: The Arena will have different levels of complexity, providing a
dynamic challenge. Blocks will be placed strategically within the arena.
10. Programming: The robot must be pre-programmed before the start of each round. Teams
are not allowed to reprogram the robot once the competition has started.
11. Competition Rounds: Each team will have a specified time to complete the task. Points
will be awarded based on completion time and successful block placements.
12. Participant Restrictions: Teachers and mentors are not allowed in the competition arena.
13. Disqualification Criteria: Failure to meet any of the specified requirements will result in
immediate disqualification
