SECTOR 05 — FAQ

KNOWN HAZARDS

Answers to what most explorers ask before setting off.

Any undergraduate team of 1–3 students from a recognised university is welcome. Mixed-university teams are allowed, and first-time hackers are encouraged to apply.

No. Participation is completely free, including the final round, meals during the event, and all workshop materials.

No — the proposal stage only needs a clear idea, problem statement, and technical approach. Working builds are expected only from teams shortlisted for the Final Round.

Any system where an AI model plans and takes actions toward a goal with limited step-by-step supervision — think task-executing agents, tool-using copilots, or autonomous workflow bots, across any of the three tracks.

On university premises, Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka. Remote pitching may be arranged for exceptional cases — contact the organisers in advance.
