  • OBJECTIVE :

    Junkyard Wars was first inspired by the TV series “Apollo 13”, in which astronauts had to carry out in-mission repairs using only the available materials! In the midst of being an engineer, how well can you hold up against minds just as geared up as yours when you’re forced you pit yourselves against each other in Junkyard Wars! That’s right – it’s just as the name suggests. Here we put you in a similar position and give you a chance to think out of the box and create something from junk in the creative and innovative way you always wanted to. You’ll be left to some scraps and yourself to test your creative and innovative skills to the furthest extreme, just as the cavemen were back in the day. Think you’re smarter than a caveman? Test your machines against similar junk freaks to become the ultimate junkyard rulers and prove yourself this year at Mechtrix!

    Q 1  Is submission of abstract is compulsory?

    Ans: Basically abstract is to understand  mechanisms, energy conversion used by teams.

    If any time is violating any rule mentioned in rulebook we will understand it from abstract,

    And we will suggest changes to teams. So it depends on teams to send abstract for safety.

    So teams can submit abstract even after 1st  of October.

    Ans: As per rule given in rule-book score1 & score2 will be calculated,

    And final score will be calculated according to formulae:

    Total score      = (2/3)Score1 + (1/3)Score2 ;

     

    Q.3) What is exact position of cube?

    Ans: Teams are allowed to keep cube at any place in any direction

    with particular orientation respective  to mechanism but

    that position will be considered as final position.

     

    Q.4) How much time will be given to complete the task?

    Ans: Each team will be given a setup time of maximum 2 min.

    In which they can take a trial run of their mechanism.

  • OBJECTIVE :

    Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be designed with courageous patience… There is the satisfaction of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. It is the perception of the product that catches the eye of the passer-by. Drafting the best design, both internally and externally is the key to an engineer’s progress. Because ‘Design’ is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works! Gather your drafting-skills and get ready to challenge the ‘CHALLENGES’! Take the best that exists! And when it doesn’t, DESIGN it at ‘Intelligent Design 2D’!
