DEFY THE VANE: 305
MATLAB / SIMULINK modeling
Defy the Vane 305 puts you in the shoes of an elite technical team tasked with reconstructing a legendary, classified aerospace anomaly. Operating under strict physical and electrical constraints at 10,000 feet, you will use raw mathematical logic and computational simulation to bypass locked systems, stabilize critical power grids, and engineer the impossible.

EEEEvent Round Details
— THE CORRUPTED SIGNAL - A strange signal has been recovered from the incident. Your task is to identify the useful information hidden within it, calculate the required value, and use MATLAB/Simulink to recover the original signal.
— THE UNEXPECTED LOAD - The recovered evidence points towards an unusual electrical load. Use the information provided to determine how the system responds when the load is activated. Enter your calculated values into the provided Simulink model and verify the behavior.
- Calculate the required initial energy/power conditions and steady-state mechanical parameters before simulation.
- Enter only the calculated values into the designated sections of the provided Simulink model.
- Modifying safety limits or locked model parameters to obtain results will lead to disqualification.
- The phase is completed only after the calculated solution successfully passes simulation verification.
— THE RACE AGAINST THE SAFETY SYSTEM - The final evidence reveals that an automatic safety mechanism should have stopped the operation. Determine the correct setting required for the system to complete its operation, and test your solution In Simulink.
- Calculate and tune the required control parameters to stabilize the dynamic aerodynamic load.
- Teams must perform their calculations before implementing the parameters in Simulink.
- Only the provided baseline model may be used; bypassing or altering safety constraints is strictly prohibited.
- The phase is completed only when the control system achieves the required stability conditions in simulation.
— THE FORENSIC VERDICT - Bring together the clues, calculations and simulation results. Your team must determine: What happened? How did it happen? And can your simulation prove it?
- No pre-written notes or reference material.
- AI: Max 5 uses/team via organizer terminal.
- No internet or outside communication.
- Use provided Simulink files only; tampering = DQ.
- Complete stages in sequence and pass simulation verification.
- Scoring: Simulation Success → Accuracy → Fastest Time (Tie-breaker).
- Requirements: Laptop + Charger, MATLAB R2024b with Simulink; calculator recommended.
- No advanced Simulink experience required; mentors will be available.
- Take Home: Learn → Solve → Simulate → Build → Take Home.
Judges' and organizers’ decisions are final in all matters, including disputes over clues, calculations, or scoring.

About the event
Ideate is a two-round paper presentation event where participants can share their innovative ideas and technical work. In the first round, papers will be submitted online and evaluated, with the best submissions shortlisted for the final round. The shortlisted participants will then present their papers in the second round, which will be conducted in a hybrid mode (online/offline).

About the event
The Line Follower Challenge is a hands-on robotics competition where teams design, build, test, and operate autonomous line-following robots. Participants compete to complete the track as quickly as possible while maintaining accurate line detection and reliable control. The track includes both normal and inverted line sections, testing the robot’s sensing and control capabilities. The challenge puts embedded systems, sensing, motor control, and programming into a practical engineering test. Each member in the team has to get TECH PASS.
