Rumble in the junk

Introduction

The event for all those who are looking for a magical spark to ignite their minds and waiting for an opportunity to literally 'build' their ideas. What you need here is a strong desire to innovate and all the creativity you can muster, to convert what would ordinarily be called a pile of "junk" into something that is practically useful. So if you think you have it in you to visualize perhaps a flying marvel from pieces of scrap metal and the technical know-how to make it soar, get ready to "Rumble".

The event consists of three rounds conducted over a period of two days. Each round is eliminatory.

Round 1

The first round will consist of objective type questions which will test the participants’ general aptitude and knowledge on basic engineering principles (with a larger emphasis on mechanical engineering).
The duration of the test will be 60 minutes.
The top 15 teams will enter the next round.

Round 2

This round will test the participants’ innovation, creativity and practical thinking.
Questions will be of reasoning type.
The duration of the test will be 60 minutes.
Top five teams from this round will enter Round3.

Round 3

This will be the round where we get practical. The problem statement will be announced on the day of the event.
A common objective will be set for all teams and the teams will be required to 'achieve' the objective using the junk provided.
The teams will be allowed to choose the junk from the pile based on the scores obtained in Round2.
The scores obtained in previous rounds will not be considered for deciding the winners in this final round.
The items in each pile will be carefully scrutinized by the organizers. The teams will be given one full day to accomplish their task.
