RC CRAFT CHALLENGE
August 21st, 2025 - August 24th, 2025
Build your RC Plane which is aerodynamically sound and within the specified dimensions to achieve a successful flight. The RC plane should be able to take off, land, and can-do maneuver. The competition has 3 Rounds i.e. two elimination rounds and the final round. The performance of the RC Plane in all the Rounds/Arenas will be evaluated individually. The team Scoring the maximum points in the final round will be nominated as the winner of the competition.
- The competition is open for all 200 Teams are eligible to participate, encompassing both national and international countries.
- All participants will get a certification of Participation from “All India Council For Robotics & Automation (AICRA)”.
- INR 1,25,000 to be awarded to winning teams.
Eligibility Criteria
- Open for all : Schools/Colleges/Universities every age group can participate.
How to Get on The RC Craft Challenge
A match is played by a single team in one go, with each team consisting of 1 RC Plane.
An individual may participate or construct a team of maximum 10 members. Any institution (School/College/University/Vocational Institution) or group of students (within defined age), may form a team.
- STEP 1: Register your RoboClub or Institute as TechnoXian RoboClub online at official TechnoXian website. If you do not have Club or Institute, you may form a new TX RoboClub.
- STEP 2: Registered clubs need to qualify in the ZRC (Zonal Robotic Championship) round to participate in TechnoXian WRC (World Robotic Championship) 9.0.
- STEP 3: Construct an RC Plane of wingspan 150cm* and a maximum weight up to 4Kg (including battery and other onboard components). the RC Plane fits the mentioned specifications as long as the design and construction are primarily the original work of the team. A ready-made RC plane is not acceptable, if found so, the team will be disqualified.
- STEP 4: Prepare a video of 1 minute to 5 minutes (maximum 100 MB), showcasing team readiness, creativity, preparing for challenges, or anything to show passion for participating in TechnoXian. Share the video via email at videosubmission@technoxian.org (as google drive or We transfer) or WhatsApp at +91 9289095404 mentioning Your Team Registration ID. All videos will be uploaded on TechnoXian YouTube channel.
(Note: Video is for promotion for our Participants who are coming to participate in Technoxian)
Construction: The design and construction of the RC plane should be primarily the original work of the team and must justify the dimensions parameters for the competition:
- The complete RC plane dimensions should have a wingspan of a minimum of 100cm and a maximum of 150cm (should not exceed 150cm).
- RC Plane weight should be up to 4Kgs (including battery and other onboard components).
- There is no restriction on the use of any material for RC Plane bodies or wings. Exploration of other materials and building methods is greatly encouraged. In addition, the use of lead in any portion of the aircraft (payload included) is strictly prohibited.
- The RC Plane is restricted to electric motor propulsion only. There are no restrictions (make or model) on the electric motor. Only a single motor configuration is allowed (no multiple motors).
- Gearboxes, Belt Drive Systems, and Propeller Shaft Extensions are allowed as long as a one-to-one propeller to motor RPM is maintained.
- RC Plane must be powered by a commercially available Lithium- Polymer battery pack (3 cell-12.6 Volt to 6 cell-22.2 volt Lithium Polymer battery pack). Homemade batteries are NOT allowed.
- If a separate battery is used for the radio system, the battery pack must have enough capacity to safely drive all the servos in the RC Plane, taking into consideration the number of servos and potential current draw from those servos. A battery pack with a minimum capacity of 1000 mAh must be used for the radio system. Battery voltage regulators or Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC) are allowed.
The field area would be approx 200 F2
- There are marked/specified regions/spots to take off and land the RC Plane.
- Hurdles will be placed at a different locations in the arena.
- Fields will have arrows marked to depict the maneuvering path. The Competition is divided into 3 rounds of evaluation.
- Each Round will have its own set of checkpoints and hurdles. Specific checkpoints will be defined on the arena for changing the batteries, adjusting gains, calibration of sensors, etc.
Time will be given to the teams for charging their batteries at the completion of every stage. The requirement of time of charging the batteries during the conduct of competition will not be entertained
3D Model Arene: Move Cursor to View 360 degree
Pre-Game setup:
- The Aircraft will be evaluated on various parameters such as design, construction, and innovation.
- Every aspect of the Aircraft will be observed for scoring which includes the connection of various parts, fixing of components, materials Used, aeromodelling, etc.
Game Clock: The game clock starts as soon as the referee commands the beginning of the round and stops as soon as the maximum access time (5 Minutes) of that round elapse.
Run Time: Run fime starts as soon as the game clock starts/the aircraft takes/off and stops when the aircraft lands successfully.
Flight time: The flight time will be the official time taken by each aircraft.
Flight time = (Total Access time for the round)-(Run time)
Round 1
Elimination Round — Launching and Landing of Aircraft:
- One team would be playing at a time. In this round, Team has to do a survey of ground to gather information.
- Aircraft piolet can do hand launch or can use launch pad within a 5-meter stretch.
- Only one hand Is permitted for launch. Aircraft piolet must remain inside the launch zone
- Team would be given maximum 3 minutes for Pre-flight checks and launch.
- The RC Aircraft must remain airborne. The challenge is to take off from a specific
- Location and land within the boundary of a predetermined circular landing spot in the minimum time possible and before the access time elapses
- The top 25 teams to complete the circuit with the best timings will move fo the final round.
Final Round (5min)
AIRCRAFT PRIX
- Maximum of two attempts to complete the challenge.
- Aircraft piolet has to compete the circuit without avoiding hurdles placed in Flying Zone.
- Points will be awarded for maneuvering through hurdles and time taken to complete the circuit. Stability and Piolet's control ability will also be judged.
- Negative points will be awarded for crashes.
- The team completing the circuit in the minimum time frame and scoring the maximum point will be nominated as the winner of the competition.
