GitHub Repository: All code, circuit designs, and documentation must be uploaded to a public GitHub repository upon completion.
Certification: MVP Team certificates awarded per domain based on live demo, documentation quality, and GitHub submission.
Component Sourcing: The college/club will not provide hardware components or kits. Teams must source their own materials.
Infrastructure: Basic power sockets provided at venue. Teams are strongly encouraged to bring their own extension boards/spike busters.
Safety & Compliance: All hardware must be safe and properly insulated. High-voltage components or flammable materials require prior faculty approval.
