ROTOLARE
Introduction:
Roller coasters are thrill rides that operates like a railroad track. The history of this ride reflects a constant search for greater and more death-defying thrills. They are made from steel or wood and comprise a series of hills and drops, sudden turns, track loops and corkscrew-like elements. Roller coasters don’t have engines; they must be pulled by a motorized chain to the top of the first big hill. As the roller coaster rises higher, its potential energy increases and reaches maximum at crest of hill. The potential energy accumulated by the rise in height is transferred to kinetic energy as the cars race down the first downward slope.
Aim:
Teams shall design and build a “roller coaster” meeting the requirements specified in these rules. The “roller coaster” shall mean the entire structure, including the roller coaster track and the base, but not the actual vehicle. The “COASTER” shall mean the vehicle that travels on the Roller Coaster track.
Problem Statement:
Students are required to build a marble roller coaster using POPSICLE STICKS. The event will be on the spot and you are required to finish it within the given time frame. Materials provided by organizers: Ply board, popsicle sticks, marbles, Tape, Fevicol.
Note: Students may use hard papers or thermocline sheets to make the path way of the track.
They are allowed to use colours and some other materials like blades, scissors. (Organizing team will not provide any other material apart from specified above).
RULES:
1. Event is open to all.
2. Maximum team size is 4.
3. Participants can form teams from different branches/colleges.
4. No two teams must have any common member.
5. Teams are not allowed to touch their model once the ride begins.
6. The time limit is 180 minutes.
7. The decision of the judges shall be final.
8. Any coaster that violates the rule above or the spirit of the competition will be disqualified.
Roller Coaster Model Rules
1. Size restrictions - the height should not be more than 1 m and model should be designed in provided area for each team.
2. The model should be designed for a regular size marble.
3. The starting position at the top of the first hill should be clearly marked.
4. You will have to measure the total track length and mention it somewhere on the track.
Judging Criteria
1. Time (10 Points)
Each model will be entitled to two runs. The longest time to go from the start position to the finish will be the official time for that model.
2. Technical points (10 points)
Your roller coaster must have a “thrill factor.” There must be at least one loop, at least one turn, and if possible, a “jump.” Is the track open for all/part of the ride? How abrupt are any changes in motion?
3. Aesthetics (25 points)
Points will be awarded for creativity and addition of interesting events like the free fall of the marble and how aesthetically you’ve designed.
4. Creativity and complexity (10 points)
Is there anything unique about this roller coaster? Points will be awarded for addition of interesting events like free fall of marble, use of elevator, two or more marble tracks etc.
5. Details (10 points)
Teams must submit the following: - i) Start height ii) Vertical jump heights iii) Total length of the track.
Note: - Providing wrong information may lead to disqualification.
6.Theme (5 points)
What's the name of your roller coaster? Does your scenery support this theme? Does the design support your theme? Is there a coolness or cleverness factor in your name?
Event Charges: Rs. 100/- per team
