Objective: The objective of Technical Inspection round is to determine whether the bike possess the requirements and restrictions of RPM 2K17 rules. Each Bike must pass all stages of Technical Inspection and testing before it is permitted to participate in any dynamic event. The exact procedures and instruments employed for inspection and testing are entirely at the discretion of the Chief Technical Inspector. Bikes must be presented for technical inspection in finished condition, i.e. fully assembled, completed and ready-to-run, unless it will not be allowed for inspection. 2. Corrections: If a Bike does not comply with the rules, then correction must be done before re-inspection process. 3. Technical Viva: The team members will be asked questions in design and fabrication of minibike and their roles of engineering practices of the teams will also be evaluated. The decision taken by the judges are final and no more arguments will be entertained.

13 4. Cost report: The expenses for the components used in the bike must be specified. The report will be cross verified by the inspection team. The actual cost must not vary with the report. 5. Manufacturing Level: Good engineering practice will reflect a great manufacturing quality. The Bike will be examined by the judges at the time of static round. The participating teams are advised to manufacture the bike with pre-planned strategies, so that the bike would be able to compete in several tasks and tests.

14 3.2.1 Dynamic Tests: 1.Brake Test: Objective: The brake test evaluates the braking and stability of the bike. Procedure: All the teams have to pass the brake test in order to participate in other Dynamic Events. The bike must stop in a straight line after brake is applied. Each bike will be given 2attempts to pass the brake test. 2. Acceleration Test: Objective: The acceleration test evaluates the Bike s acceleration in a straight line on a flat pavement. Procedure: The rider has to cross the given distance at certain time. The points will be given based on the time taken to cross the distance. Note: The teams will participate in the next round only after successful completion of brake and acceleration. 3. Skid Pad test (figure of 8): Objective- The objective of the skid-pad event is to measure the Bike s cornering ability on a flat surface while making a constant- radius turn. 1. Skid Pad Layout- There will be the two concentric circles in a figure of eight pattern. There will be inner circle and outer circle in the figure. The driving path will be the inner and outer circles. The bikes will enter and exit through the gates on a wide path that is tangential to the circles where they meet. The line between the centre defines the start/stop line and returning to the start/stop line. Procedure: The bike will enter the middle of the figure of 8 track and take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the bike must move on to the left circle to complete the lap. This completes one lap and time will be noted. Immediately upon finishing the circle the lap will be completed, and the bike will exit the track. The bike will exit at the intersection moving in the same direction as entered.

15 Penalties: Cones/Tyres Down or Out, Leg Touching the Ground, Bike Going out of Track. Note: 3seconds will be added to the time for each penalty. Unfinished: If the bike get off during Skid pad test, the bike will be allotted 20 seconds penalties by the judges and allowed to participate in next round. The team will have only one chance to pass the skip pad test. The teams will be permitted to endurance track after completing these tests, in case of failure the team will be allotted a penalty of 25seconds. 4. Endurance event: Objective: The endurance event is designed to evaluate the bike s overall performance, reliability and efficiency. Procedure& Specifications: The rider rides the bike in the given track. The track consists of obstacles with standing water, muddy sand, bridges and rocks. The cones/tyres are placed at the side of the track. The cones present in the track shows the limit of the track. The rider must ride the bike within the track. In general, the teams completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum marks available in the round. Endurance Penalties: The penalties in effect during the endurance event are listed below: Cones/Tyres Down or Out, Leg Touching the Ground, Bike Going out of Track. Note: 3seconds will be added to the time for each penalty. Off Course (OC): In case of an off Course, the rider will be given time of 3minutes to re-enter the track. The time taken to repair the bikes will be taken into account during endurance. If the team fails to re-enter the track within 3minutes, the team will be disqualified and the team subjected to second off course will be disqualified at the moment. There will be no more arguments the team has to walk out of the event. Preference will be given to the team which has not gone off-course. No obstacles should be skipped during the course of the track.
