Code Relay Race

MakerSpace Cluster | Rule Book Event Overview Field Details Event Name Code Relay Race Cluster MakerSpace Cluster Event Type Competitive Programming  Mode Offline (On-site labs)  Team Size Team of 4 Members Duration 1.5 Hours  Event Task / Objective: Teams must solve a complex algorithmic problem by passing the "baton" (keyboard access) through four specialized stages. Only one member may touch the system at a time. Stage 1 (Logic - 15m): Designs the algorithm/pseudocode on paper. Stage 2 (Coding - 15m): Translates the logic into syntax. Stage 3 (Debugging - 15m): Fixes syntax and logical errors. Stage 4 (Optimization - 15m): Refines code for time/space complexity. Design / Technical Specifications Permitted Languages: C, C++, Java, Python. Environment: Standard IDEs or competitive platforms (HackerRank/VJudge). Constraints: No internet access (except documentation/platform); strictly no communication between the active coder and waiting teammates. General Guidelines Participants must adhere to the event schedule and submission deadlines. All entries must be developed from scratch during the event. Teams must document their work, including: Problem Statement Approach & Technology Used Challenges Faced & Solutions Implemented Organizers will provide computer systems, basic power and connectivity support. Any unsafe or unethical behavior will lead to disqualification. Safety Rules Participants must follow event venue safety instructions. No flammable, high-voltage, or hazardous materials allowed. Spectators must remain outside designated operational areas. Event Rounds / Structure Round Description Duration Round 1 Use Logic, Code, Debug and Optimize. 1 Hour Final Evaluation Judging and results. 30 Minutes Submission Guidelines Final submissions must include: A working program with successful output. Source code / schematic (if applicable). Upload link or physical submission before deadline.
