CONTRAPTION
Out Line :
There will be two balls, one is the man and the other is his guide, running in two different paths.

The guide ball should divert the path of the man ball, so that the man gets guided to his friend’s home.
Tasks :
** Ways of Guiding can be removal of an obstacle, inserting a new path, etc. in the path of the man ball.
[NOTE : the man ball should NOT be able to proceed until the task is completed by the guide].
** There can be any number of tasks.
** Intermediate tasks can be done in between tasks for extra points.The intermediate task should be done by the man ball, which can be bursting a balloon, initiating a domino, etc.
Final Task :
The guide ball should open a door (which is the door of the home) and close the door once the man ball rolls into it.

Rules :
** Each team can have 4-6 members.
** The team should submit a TDP (Team Description Paper) and flow charts of all the steps and the energy conversion in each step.
** Selection of team for the finals will be based on TDP.
** Selected teams are requested to bring 5 copies of detailed TDP.
** Change of steps is not encouraged after submission of TDP. Addition of steps is permitted.
** There should be no repetition of steps.
