HACKATHON
Webpage: hackathon.bitsquark.org
In the context of a hackathon, the word "hack" is used to
describe how multiple technologies can be used
together in a new and innovative way.
Teams of 3 to 4 people spend the weekend working on
innovative software and hardware solutions to real-
world problems.
• These projects range in platform and application,
including elements of web development, mobile
applications, drones, and more.
However, many times the most important aspect of a
hackathon is the community it generates and skills that
inexperienced hackers walk away with.
The hackathon is a 30 hour event consisting of talks, API
demo sessions, socializing sessions and of course a 24
hour hacking session.
The initial 6 hours will consist of talks and API demo
sessions after which hacking starts.
The 24 hours hacking session will be owed by an
evaluation of every team’s hack by a panel of judges.
The panel will decide the top-3 teams which will be
announced at the spot.
 Any sponsored special prizes will require teams to go to
the sponsor's booth individually and demonstrate their
hack to the sponsor.
These prizes are at the complete discretion of the
organization sponsoring them and there is no guarantee
if there will be prizes given, if any.

CODEJAM
Do you believe not just in writing code but making it
more efficient? If yes, this event is for you.
Quark presents to you a competitive programming
event. Rack your brains to solve puzzles and real world
problems. Compete with people all across the nation
and show off your programming skills.
CodeJam will have 2 rounds exclusive to each other,
and are individual events.
These rounds will be held on codechef.com

Round 1:
Anybody is allowed to sit for this, irrespective of their
participation in the first round (optional).
The contest will be hosted online on CodeChef for a
duration of 5 hours with 8 problems.
 No team participation is allowed and plagiarism of any
sort will result in cancellation of participation.
For any wrong submission (none of the test cases
passed), a penalty of 15 mins will be imposed.

Judging Criteria
Participants will be judged based on the number of test
cases their program gives the correct answer for. Judging
will be done via the online judge.

Team size: 1

Rules
1. You are required to print the final output. Sample
output format will be provided in each problem
statement.

CODEWAR
Participants limit: 32
This is a 1v1 coding event with a special rule. Each problem
will have points associated with it according to its difficulty.
If a participant solves a problem, the other participant
cannot solve it and get points for that problem. So it’s all
about strategy and how one chooses the order to solve the
problems. The participants are responsible for bringing their
own laptops and chargers.

The event will comprise of 3 rounds:

Round 1 and Round 2: Elimination Round, 30 min, 1 out of
2 contestants will qualify for the next round. This round
would consist of 3 problems with different scores. The
participant with the maximum score qualifies for the
next round. Points distribution will be announced before
the start of the round.
Final Round: The round would consist of 7 problems with
different points assigned to each. This round would last
1.5 hours. Top 3 with the maximum score will be declared
as winners.
Rules:
Any participants, if found using any unfair means, will be
disqualified from the event. Each program will be tested
based on our critical test data. However, output and
input should be exactly as specified in the samples
provided. The decision of the organizers in declaring the
results will be final. No queries in this regard will be
entertained.
BITS CTF

added and on the basis of that, half of
the teams participating will advance to the finals.
Note: In case any team is not able to complete the tasks
on day 1 or day 2 they will be
eliminated straight away.
Round 3:
(Finals)There will be 5 weights (grams): 200, 400,
600, 800, 1000.
Each team will get 5 attempts to pass through the
arena with any of the weights above.
They must carry 200 and 400 gms at least once.
Considering the weight lifted and time taken for
passing through the arena, scoring will be done
(explained below).
Scoring (for finals) - for each of the five attempts,
(weight carried/time taken) will be added to each
team's score starting from 0. In case of a failure 0 will
be added to the score for that attempt.
The team having the most points in the end wins.
Note: Failure will be considered as not reaching the
destination with the weight.
If the weight falls down the team will not be allowed
to pick it up again.
It's okay if the drone hits obstacles as long as the
drone or the weight does not hit the ground.
 The reason being that the whole point of this event is to
rescue people in case of a fire or emergency and if that
person falls down you have failed.
The details about the point system as well as the track
would be released on the Quark website.

TRAILBLAZERS
General Rules -
The competition consists of two rounds.

control link.
Aircraft staging -
This is a technical inspection round, and all teams must
pass this round to qualify for further rounds.
A payload must fit within the dimensions of a 5cm * 5cm
* 5cm box and has to be fabricated. The weight for that
payload can be chosen (Based on round 1).
The payload must be carried internally to the aircraft. No
part of the payload can be part of or extruded outside of
the airplane's external surfaces or features.
The aircraft's empty weight(including battery and all
other non-payload subsystems.) must be less than 1000
grams.
All the battery packs, motors, ESCs, transmitters and
receivers, and other equipment to be used in
subsequent rounds must be shown to the organizers.
Only these pieces of equipment will be allowed to be
used. eg, If your team requires three batteries to
complete the competition, then all three batteries must
be shown to the organizers.
Battery packs, motors, ESCs, and propellers must be
commercially procured.

Round - 1
A suitable weight for the payload has to be chosen by
the teams. Let the weight (of only the payload) be W.
The aircraft must only be hand-launched and must land
within the flying zone.
If the aircraft strays away from the flying zone, the team
will be told to bring down the aircraft immediately, which
will be counted as a failed attempt.
 The goal of the round is to fly the aircraft for as long as
possible. Your time will be calculated as the time
between takeoff and landing. Let the time be T.
The maximum allowed time Tmax will be ninety percent
of the theoretical time T estimated in the report. After
Tmax, you will be told to land the aircraft.
Only two attempts will be allowed.
The best one out of the two scores will be considered.
The flight score for each team will be calculated as

Score_1 = W * T

Round - 2

location and to achieve it with a minimum landing
distance.
The aircraft must only be hand-launched and must land
within the flying zone.
If the aircraft strays away from the flying zone, the team
will be told to bring down the aircraft immediately, which
will be counted as a failed attempt.
The landing zone will be 7.5 meters wide. The start of the
landing strip will be clearly mentioned.
If the aircraft undershoots the runway, i.e., lands before
the start of the landing strip, then it will be counted as a
failed attempt.
If the aircraft deviates from the runway, i.e., lands to the
right or left of the landing strip, it will be counted as a
failed attempt.
 Let n represent the number of attempts the team made
to land the plane on the strip.
Let m (in meters) represent the distance between the
start of the landing strip and the point where your
aircraft comes to a complete stop.
Max time allotted to the team to complete this mission
will be 3 minutes.
Only the latest m value will be considered in the final
score calculation.

Score_2 = 100* (e^(-m)) / n

Final scoring -

The final score will be calculated as shown below -

score_final = score_1 * score_2

The teams will be ranked by their score_final only.

 ROBOFICIAL
ROBOWARS
Task: Design and construct a wireless remote-controlled
robot capable of fighting one on one in.
I. 8Kg category ll.15Kg category III. 30Kg Category
RULEBOOK:
1. General
Participation:
All participants build and operate Robots at their
own risk. Fighting Robots is inherently dangerous.
There is no amount of regulation that can
encompass all of the dangers involved. Please take
care not to hurt yourself or others when building,
testing and competing. Compliance with all event
rules and competition regulations is mandatory. It is
expected that competitors stay within the rules and
procedures of their own accord and do not require
constant policing.
Loopholes:
If you have a robot or weapon design that does not
fit within the categories set forth in these rules or is in
some way ambiguous or borderline, please contact
the coordinators. Safe innovation is always
encouraged, but surprising the event staff with your
brilliant exploitation of a loophole may cause your
robot to be disqualified before it ever competes.
Safety Inspections:
Each event has safety inspections known as Tech
checks. It is at the coordinators sole discretion that
your Robot is allowed to compete. As a builder you
are obligated to disclose all operating principles and
potential dangers to the coordinators.
Activation:
Robots must only be activated in the arena, testing
areas, or with expressed consent of the event
organizer and the safety officials. All activation and
de-activation of robots must be completed from
outside the arena barrier or within specially
designated areas. You must never enter the arena
with live robots without the express permission and
supervision of the event organiser.
Power Tools:
It is expected that builders will follow all basic safety
practices such as shoes, gloves and goggles when
operating any machinery. The use of welders,
grinders and other equipment that may produce
smoke, debris or other harmful substances is only
permitted in dedicated workshop areas. Please take
care of yourself and others around you.
Discipline:
It is expected that all participants are disciplined and
show good behaviour towards other participants,
judges and coordinators. Strict actions will be taken
on participants not abiding the rules; which may also
lead to disqualification of the team.
TECHNICAL DETAILS

2.1 Weight limit:

The maximum weight of the COMBOT should not
exceed respective category weight i.e. 15Kg in
Category 1 and 30Kg in Category 2. If a COMBOT

with other teams. In case of any interference in the
wireless systems there will not be any rematch or
stoppage.
3. Team should pair up the wireless remote with the
machine before putting it into the arena. Nonstandard
or self-made remote-control systems must first be
approved by the organizers. Remote control systems
from toys might be used. Remote control systems
available in the market may also be used.
4. All robots should be having failsafe for the radio; i.e. in
case of loss of radio signal the robot should
immediately stop all the drive and weapon system.
 5. It is recommended to install a Kill Switch or Power
Link system to be able to disconnect battery
immediately in case of any emergency.

disobeying any of the competition rules will not be
considered for the certificate.

*It is Mandatory to wear Shoes by each and every

team member for the purpose of safety. Care should
be taken while handling the bots. Any kind of causality
should be reported quickly to the organizer, so that
first-Aid can be given immediately. Members without
shoes will not be allowed to enter the arena nor
allowed to stand near the control station.

ROUNDS
4.1 TECHNICAL INSPECTION:
In this coordinator will check the robot for all technical
rules as stated above and will PASS the robot if all the
rules are abided, if robot fails to do so, necessary
changes have to be done in order to participate in the
robot else may lead to disqualification. (All rules under
section 2 should be abided).

4.2 MATCH & GAMEPLAY:

1. All matches will be death match of 3 minutes.
Only 3 participants will be allowed to stay near the
control station.
 2. No Hand touches will be allowed in between the
match; and the match won’t be stopped only if two
Combots are stuck to each other and hence immobile,
in such case Combots will be separated by safest
means and the match will be continued for remaining
time and position of the robots will be maintained.
3. A robot will be declared victorious on the basis of
criteria stated in section 4.4 and will be decided by the
Judges. Decision of the Judges will be considered final
and no team can object or quarrel on the decision,
failure to do so may cause disqualification.
4. All robots will be given at least 30minutes of break
after each match. Time is calculated from the time the
robot leaves arena. If the robot fails to return to the
arena when called after the allotted time; the robot may
be forced to forfeit.

4.4 Criteria for Victory

1. A robot is declared victorious by knockout if its
opponent is immobilized or thrown outside the playing
area.
2. A robot will be declared immobile if it cannot display
linear motion of at least one inch in a timed period of 15
seconds. A bot with one side of its drivetrain disabled will
not be counted out if it can demonstrate some degree
of controlled movement. In case both the robots remain
mobile after the end of the round then the winner will be
decided subjectively by the judges
3. A robot that is deemed unsafe by the judges
after the match has begun will be disqualified and
therefore declared the loser. The match will be
immediately halted and the opponent will be
awarded a win.
4. Robots cannot win by pinning or lifting their
opponents. Organizers will allow pinning or lifting
for a maximum of 10 seconds per pin then the
attacker robot will be instructed to release the
opponent. If, after being instructed to do so, the
attacker is able to release but does not, their robot
may be disqualified. If robots become entangled
due to a crushing or gripping or any other weapon
is employed and becomes trapped within another
robot, then the competitors should make the
timekeeper aware, the fight should be stopped and
the robots separated by the safest means.
5. Points will be given on the basis of aggression,
damage, control and strategy.
Aggression – Aggression is judged by the
frequency, severity, boldness and effectiveness
of attacks deliberately initiated by the robot
against its opponent. If a robot appears to have
accidentally attacked an opponent, that act will
not be considered Aggression.
Control – Control means a robot is able to
attack an opponent at its weakest point, use its
weapons in the most effective way, and
minimize the damage caused by the opponent
or its weapons.
 Damage – Through deliberate action, a robot
either directly or indirectly reduces the
functionality, effectiveness or defensibility of an
opponent. Damage is not considered relevant if
a robot inadvertently harms itself. Also, if a
rapidly spinning device on a robot fragments,
any damage to the opponent will not be
considered "deliberate".
Strategy – The robot exhibits a combat plan
that exploits the robot's strengths against the
weaknesses of its opponent. Strategy is also
defined as a robot exhibiting a deliberate
defence plan that guards its weaknesses
against the strengths of the opponent.
6. In case the match is stopped by a participant
due to malfunctioning of combot, the stoppage will
be considered as a forfeit from the match and
opponent will be declared victorious.

4.5 Event specific Terminologies

Disabled –A robot is not functioning correctly due
to either an internal malfunction, or contact with
the opposing robot or Arena Hazard.
Disqualification – A Robot is no longer permitted to
compete in the current Robowars Tournament.
Immobilized – In Judge's opinion, a robot is not
responsive for a specified period of time.
Knockout – Occurs when the attack or deliberate
actions of one robot causes its opponent to
become immobilized or thrown outside the playing
arena.
Lifting – Occurs when one robot controls an
opponent's translational motion by lifting the drive
mechanism of the opponent off of the Arena floor.
No Contact – Occurs when neither robot makes
contact with each other for a specified period of
time.
Pinning – Occurs when one robot, through sheer
force, holds an opponent stationary in order to
immobilize it.
Radio Interference – Refers to the situation where
at least one robot becomes nonResponsive or non-
controllable due to the effect of the other robot's
remote-control signal.
Non-Responsive – In a Referee's opinion, the robot
cannot display some kind of controlled
translational movement along the Arena floor.
Restart – Occurs after a Fault or a Timeout has
been declared and the competing robots are ready
to continue.
Stuck – A robot is hung-up on a part of the Arena,
an Arena Hazard or an opponent, such that it is
effectively non-responsive.
Tap-Out – Occurs when a Robot's Operators decide
that they no longer want to continue the Match,
and concede the win to the opposing Team.
 Timeout – A temporary halting of a Match.
Timeouts are usually called to separate robots, but
can be called for other reasons as well.
Technical Knockout – Occurs when a robot wins
due to immobilization of its opponent even though,
in the Judges' opinion, no action of the winning
robot caused the opponent's immobilization.

vary in the actual arena.
Gameplay
The game play consists of two parts: -
1. The first part is the “Dry Run”.
In this run, the bot must start from the ‘Start’ and
find its way to reach the ‘End’ (White box
Indicated in the figure) of the arena.
The bot now has an algorithm to find its path to
reach ‘End’ and the bot can store the turns in its
memory to explore the shortest path during the
second part of the journey.
There are no restrictions to cover all the
checkpoints.
2. The second part is the “Actual Run”.
In this run, the bot has to restart from the ‘Start’
again and finds its way to the ‘End’ through the
best possible path by owning the path that was
stored in the first run.
The End Zone’ has a black box that indicates the
end of the path for the bot.
 The timer will be set to zero as the “Actual Run”
begins.
A total of 4 minutes will be provided to complete
the dry run.
A total of 3 minutes will be provided to complete
the actual run.
If the bot takes more than 4 minutes for
completing the dry run, then the extra time taken
will be deducted from the timing of the actual
run which is 3 minutes.

Bot Specifications
The autonomous bot must fit into the box of
dimension 21cm X 21cm X 22 cm ().
The Bot must be started individually by only one
switch. However, a team may have an onboard
switch for restart.
This switch has to be shown to the organizer before
the run.
The Bot must have a red LED which will glow once it
reaches the end zone of the arena.
During the run, the autonomous bot must not
damage the arena in any way.
It is not allowed to leave anything behind or make
any marks while traversing the arena.
Any bot found damaging the arena will be
immediately disqualified.
The final decision is at the discretion of the
organizers.
 The Bot must have an ‘on board’ power supply.
When using the electric power supply, the potential
difference between any two points must not exceed
24 V at any point of time during the game.
The autonomous bot should not separate or split into
two or more units.
All bots/units which are touching each other or are in
the starting point will be considered as one bot.
Bot cannot be constructed using ready-made ‘Lego
kits’ or any ready-made mechanism.
But they can make use of readymade gear
assemblies.
Violating this clause will lead to disqualification of the
team.

Game Rules
Teams will be given 1 minute for calibration.
1. If any team is found to alter its code after
depositing its bots, then it will be immediately
disqualified from the competition. They are however
allowed to make any other hardware changes.
2. Only one autonomous bot per team is allowed.
3. When the autonomous bot starts, no team
member is allowed to touch the bot or enter the
arena.
4. At the start of the task, the bot will be placed at the
starting point.
Only 1 team members are allowed to be near the
game field while starting the bot.
 5. Run will start only when organizers give the signal.
6. The starting procedure of the bot should be simple
and should not involve giving bot, any manual force
or impulse in any direction.
7. A total of 5 minutes and 30 seconds will be given.
The bot has to finish the dry run and main run in that
period only.

Restarts
1. The participants are allowed to take a maximum of 3
restarts in the entire match.
2. If the bot takes a restart in the first part (Dry Run) of
the competition, it has to start from the checkpoint.
3. Once Dry Run is completed by the bot, the team
won’t be given any other chance for Dry Run.
4. If the bot takes a restart in the second part (Actual
Run) of the competition, it has to start from the start
zone of the arena.
5. The timer will not be set back to zero and will not be
paused in any case.
6. During a restart, a contestant must not feed
information about the arena to the bot. However,
contestants are allowed to adjust sensors (gain,
position etc.) and make hardware changes.
7. The contestant must not alter the bot in any manner
that reduces its weight (e.g. removal of a bulky
sensor array or switching to lighter batteries to get
better speed). The organizers reserve the right to
arbitrate in such circumstances.
General Rules:
Only 1 member of the team is allowed to handle the bot.
Participants are not allowed to keep anything inside the
arena other than the bot.
Laptops/personal computers are not allowed near the
arena. Other Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. devices must be
switched off. The organizers hold the right to check for
these devices and their usage and disqualify the team.
The time measured by the organizers will be final and
will be used for scoring of the teams.
Time measured by any contestant by any other means
is not acceptable for scoring.
In case of any disputes/discrepancies, the organizers’
decision will be final and binding.
The organizers reserve the rights to change any or all of
the above rules as they deem fit.
Change in rules, if any will be highlighted on the website
and notified to the registered teams.

Only one team is allowed to be present during the

run, other teams will have to stay
outside the hall . No team is allowed to take
photographs or record their run.
Judging:

30
• points will be awarded as it crosses any of the

checkpoints but it will be counted only once for

each checkpoint.
50 points will be provided if the bot successfully
completes the Dry Run.
50 points will be awarded if bot goes through the
Shortest Path in Actual Run.

Scoring:
•
A = 30 points * (Number of checkpoints covered
during the Dry Run)
B = 50 points if the bot successful y completes the
Dry Run
C = 240 - Total time taken in seconds in completing
the Dry Run
S = 50 Points if Bot successfully completes through
the Shortest Path
T = 180 - Total time taken to complete the Actual Run
(only if the bot completes in Shortest Path)
P = Penalties
Total = (A + B + C + S + L + T) – P

Further details will be announced on the website soon.

the sponsors’ requirement(s)) , based on which the
participants would fight to create the best and most
relevant decentralized applications, or, as we buidlers like to
call them, ‘dApps’

NOTE:
A submission with a full - stack dApp would be given a
priority over one with just the smart contract, if the business
logic contained in the same is equally good and relevant to
the respective theme
CryptoMania
You get to buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies as a mock
crypto trader. Need I say more?
Duration: 3 days
A typical crypto - trading competition to be hosted on
Roostoo, unless otherwise Individual participation

AnFTee
Let the artist within you come to life to make something
truly ‘unique’ look like it.
Duration: 60 hours / 3 days
Individual participation

We would be releasing themes (most probably based on

the sponsors’ requirement(s)) , based on which the
participants would create a piece of digital art to be
displayed on an NFT

Psst! You may get a chance to learn how to hook your

innovative designs onto YOUR OWN, real NFT’s and list the
same on decentralised exchanges (dExes), like OpenSea
and Rarible
