EVENT FORMAT
MEMBERS PER TEAM: 2
FIX-IT consists of three rounds. The first two rounds are qualification rounds.
The best score of the first two rounds will determine your qualification for the third and final round.
-
ROUND 1 (Assemble a Globe)
Your geographical knowledge will be put to test here. You will be required to fix “blocks” of information on a base.
Each team will receive the same base which could convey a wide range of information such as oceans or islands.
The contestants are required to insert the right blocks at the right places, thus fixing the correct pieces of missing information on their respective bases.
Time is the crucial factor in this round. Finishing this round in the least time will help you secure maximum points.
-
ROUND 2 (Who am I?)
Participants will receive 10 clues to an answer which would revolve around some technical term.
It’s all in the words! The clues are one-liners and can mess with your head.
You have got 120 seconds to crack this round. This is an eliminatory round.
-
ROUND 3 (MAT & Circuits)
A problem statement will be provided, the answer to which would be a digit from 0-10.
In addition to finding the right answer, you must represent your answer utilizing a BCD 7-Segment decoder with appropriate connections.
JUDGING CRITERIA
Round 1 will be judged on the basis of time. The teams which make the right fixes in as little time as possible will acquire maximum points. The answers are expected to be fully correct. Partially correct answers will not accredit you with any points.
Round 2 has 10 questions of 1 mark each. Again, no near correct answers will be entertained.
Round 3 has a split weightage of acquiring points. You get 1 point for jotting down the correct answer and another 2 points for completing the connections and displaying your digits.
Partial marks shall be awarded for correct grounding of circuits and connection of the display pin.
Teams having the highest points (in a best of the 2 rounds) will qualify for round 3.
