Race Track<br />
1. Race track will be a straight path which will be 30 m long and 2m wide.<br />
2. Track will be either cement road or tar road.<br />
3. There will be small wall (boundary) at the sides of the track so that the hovercraft<br />
does not go out of the track.<br />
RACE RULES<br />
1. The first round will be the qualifying round where three trials will be given to<br />
each team.<br />
2. Best of three trials will be considered (least time taken to reach the finish line) for<br />
the teams to qualify for the next round.<br />
3. The exact number of teams qualifying for the second round will be decided based<br />
on the number of participants.<br />
4. Participants must place their hovercrafts before the start line and begin the race<br />
only when the signal is given.<br />
5. If started before the signal is given, they will be disqualified for that trial.<br />
6. Participants are allowed to hold their hovercraft before the signal is given. (If the<br />
participants are using an IC engine, they can start the IC engine and hold the<br />
hovercraft on the ground and release it when the signal is given).<br />
7. There will be check points at various places on the track. If the hovercraft tumbles<br />
or stops due to some reason then the hovercraft will have to start from the nearest<br />
check point behind the point where it stopped.<br />
8. If the hovercraft stops or tumbles then only two members of the team are allowed<br />
to enter the race track and restart their hovercraft.<br />
9. A team can get only 3 chances to restart in a trial until they reach the finish line. If<br />
they fail to do so they will be disqualified for that trial. No extra time will be<br />
given for the same.<br />
10. The hovercraft will be inspected before each round and if found unsafe, will be<br />
immediately disqualified from the race.<br />

1. Each team can have a maximum of 5 members.<br />
2. A participant cannot be a member of more than one team participating in this<br />
