Rulebook: [2] Arena



1. Arena Configuration

  • For ease of reference:
    • The Plots in the arena are numbered from 1 to 16 as illustrated in red in Figure 1a.
    • The Nodes in the arena are number from 1 through 25 as illustrated in Figure 1b.
Figure 1: Arena design


2. Preparing the Debris and Injured Survivors

  • Material required:

    • Red, Green and White color chart paper
  • Preparing Debris and Injured Survivors:

    • Teams will prepare three kinds of chart paper patches. Characteristics of these are given in Table 1.

      Type of PatchLength (cm)Width (cm)ColorCount
      Debris406White10
      Survivors with Major Injuries2626Red10
      Survivors with Minor Injuries2626Green10

      Table 1: Characteristics of Debris and Injured Survivors

  • After preparing these patches, teams must paste them on the arena according to the final arena setup given below.



3. Placing the Debris and Injured Survivors on Arena

  • Placement of Debris:

    • White patches of size 40cm x 6cm are used to indicate the Debris.
    • These patches need to be sticked on the Path between two nodes and covering Mid-point Marker.
  • Placement of Injured Survivors:

    • Green and Red patches of size 26cm x 26cm are used to indicate minor and severly injured survivors.
    • These colored patches need to be sticked in the clearing zone.

Note: You must use transparent sellotape to stick these patches.



4. Final Arena Setup

Figure 2: Arena Final Setup

Note: The position of Debris and Survivors is random. During final demonstration, position will be different. Your algorithm should be generic.
