1- Quad Torc Concept
Quad Torc Concept is the virtual design competition for the teams aiming to enter into the main competition and have less experience and exposure in the field vehicle designing and manufacturing. For this category the physical prototype of the vehicle is not required, however, teams can choose to present the physical components/systems/assemblies, if available. India’s vision of only electric cars by the year 2030 motivates us to bring this new category to the series of design competitions by ISNEE Motorsports which challenges teams to design an electric Quad Bike.
The purpose of the Quad Torc Concept is to provide teams with an opportunity to conceptualize and design an electric Quad Bike which meets the Quad Torc Rules and Guidelines.
Competition Objective
The objectives of the challenge include the following:
- To provide a platform for students aiming to build an Electric Quad Bike for the Quad Torc.
- To assist teams with mentors who will be able to guide them through the process of designing and manufacturing the Quad Bike.
- Act as a platform for students interested in fabricating the competition vehicle without investing huge amount.
- To improve the level of teams aiming to take part in Quad Torc.
Participation Categories
- CV (Combustion Vehicle)

7- Utility Tools for Small-Scale Agriculture
In the 21st century, small farming seems to be as risky as it has ever been. While many farmers love the life they have and wouldn't want to do anything else. The dual challenges of global economics and changing weather patterns make commercial small farming an uneasy pursuit. Both vegetable farming and the raising of livestock are subject to the whims of nature and the competition of big business. For those who depend on agriculture for their livelihood, it is a way of life, and it can be both rewarding and challenging. Many people with knowledge of various gardening techniques and experiences may not have the money to put into their business, and may not want to take a risk with everything they have.
One of the most common problems small farmers face is the availability of the right and affordable equipment. Taking the Quad Torc to a whole new level, we invite you to explore the possibilities of designing tools/equipment/attachments for small-scale farmers that can be used with your Quad Bike. We are looking forward to having innovative designs and prototypes in the following segments:
- Front-end Loader
- Cultivator
- Past Hole Digger
- Crop Harvesting Attachments
- Others
Note-
- Teams can present the design and the prototype or the design alone
- The main aim is to address the existing problems these farmers face and come up with an affordable tool/equipment design.
- No additional points will be granted for it but the best of the prototypes will be considered for award(s)
- Though it's not mandatory for teams to design these tools/equipment yet we strongly recommend it.
8- Team Member Information
The maximum number of members in a team is limited to 50; wherein 30 members can be registered without any extra charges while next 20 can only be added after paying Rs 1490/- (excluding GST) per member.
