Skips will add extra time in total time.  During a level, teams are not allowed to change their robot. Judging Criteria     Time lap Number of check points cleared. Number of skips taken. Number of hand touches. Points= (Tthrshold-Ttaken)*10-[h*100+ n*1200] Where, Tthrshold is a constant and will be set and revealed on the day of the event. Ttaken is the time taken by the robot on the track after start. h is the number of hand touches during the race. n is the number of skips taken. Prizes Prizes for top 3 teams.  Certificates for all the teams selected for University Level. COSTING OF ARENA  Rs 3,000 at each zone. Submitted BY: 1. Akshay Jain --3rd yr. M.E.(8955551487) 2.
