JUGAAD!!


Jugaad is a “DESI” version of engineering. Here we test your skills of finding an optimum solution “JUGAAD” to a real life problem. You have to prove your mettle as the best mechanic here and have to design the most apt, optimum, and practically possible mechanism!!
For example:
The competition between Pepsi and Coke is on. The sales of Coke are going down as Pepsi launches a new fruit beer called ‘Youngbeer’ in order to be in the market. Coke also has to launch its own fruit beer as a better substitute to Youngbeer. The production has to be quick hence the bottling of the beverage should not take much time. Design a mechanism for bottling the beer if the bottle is filled in 5 seconds and the motion of the belt on which the bottles are moving is not to be stopped during the filling of one of bottle.
Note: you can use as many bottle fillers as you want (one after the other). The mechanism should include the procedure of placing empty bottles on the belt also (try making the whole production require as few men to supervise as possible, i.e. if some problem arises in placing bottles on the belt it can be handled). The design should be purely mechanical with no electronic stuff in it. You can use different belts for movement of bottles before and after the filler.
Hint: the filler can be given a vertical motion for picking the bottle and filling it.

Rules
1.At most two people per team.
2.There will be a screening test before the main test.
3.The registration fee is Rs. 20 per team.
4.The main test will be of 1 hrs and 30 minutes duration, while the screening will be of 30 minutes duration.
5.More points will be given on the basis of ease of practical realisation of your mechanism. (Ex. Ease of manufacturing).
