Please read this docs to have a smooth 72-hour hackathon!

On Venue

• Procure all your components exclusively from the component list given.

• Design and build a functional, innovative project using only those components.

• Workshops will run in parallel, which will help with guidance or any support needed for a particular topic.

• Showcase your creativity, smart planning, and technical skills within real-world constraints. Choose boldly, design cleverly, and build something remarkable.

• Accommodation, food, and snacks will be provided by the organizers from 9th of April post 1 PM.

• The event is happening in DSATM (Engineering College), so please follow college campus rules.

• Soft copy of any ID for verification purposes (e.g., Aadhaar card, Driving License, Voter ID, etc.).

• The project doesn't have to strictly follow the abstract, you can also come up with a new idea based on the given components.

NOTE:

• Please plan to purchase within a budget of ₹4000, use the wallet credit only.
• We tried our best to provide accurate information on the components procurement website, but there might be some mishaps :( so please purchase & verify components during PCB design.
• If you have damaged boards, we won't be replaced.
• Most of the 3rd partys components are directly procured from trusted vendors, we won't be reponsible for the incorrect functionality.

NOTE:

• Please plan to print within a budget of ₹3000, the application will auto-calculate the cost.
• There are 5 printers running in parallel, so plan in advance and submit your prints early.
• All prints will be in PLA (Black) only.

NOTE:

• Please use the Lion Circuits capabilities under MII service to ensure DFM compliance and smoother manufacturing.
• Use the KiCad template from Lion Circuits for easier setup.
• Submit the board before 1:30 PM. Failure to do so means the PCB will not be manufactured.
• Maximum of 2 designs per team.

NOTE:

• Minimum one person per team must attend all workshops.
• Maximum of 2 members per team can participate.
• Missing a workshop results in a penalty of 3 points per workshop.

• Team size: 3 to 4 members per team.

• Solo participation: Not allowed — teamwork is essential.

• Teams must strictly adhere to the total budget of ₹10,000 (₹4,000 components, ₹3,000 3D printing, ₹3,000 PCB).

• Each team is responsible for managing their components.

• All work must be completed on-site during hackathon hours.

• Maintain a collaborative and respectful environment.

• Teams are allowed to share and trade components.

1. Maximum a team could score will be 100.

2. If two teams score the same score, they end in a tie. The prize will be split between the team.

• All teams must submit their final deliverables by 12th before 5:00 PM.

• Full documentation including circuit diagram, picture, demo video, source code for the firmware, gerber & the pcb design files needed to be submitted.
