| ¨ò NOTICE ON MACHINE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION |
|
|
Following
are the points to be kept in mind when constructing
machines. In every case, sufficient attention
must be paid to avoid danger.
(1) Automatic Machine/s may come in contact
with one another and the Takraw ball being
shot by another machine may fall on to the
automatic machine unintentionally. Therefore,
sufficient design must be carried out to avoid
damage to the machine when constructing Automatic
Machine/s
(2) To ensure safety, when using a laser beam,
it must be a class 2 laser, and used in a
way that it will not harm any operators, audience,
and the referees.
(3) For an official supplementary information
on the Contest Rule, the Contest Committee
will release the FAQ(Frequently Asked Question).
(4) Each participating country will be asked
to prepare a 5-minute videotape, which explains
the structure and the movement of the participating
team¡¯s machine. The Contest Committee will
verify whether each participating machine
is fitted for the rules through the viewing
of the videotapes, prior to the shipment of
the machine.
