Automated Relay Debugging System (QR-Logic v2.0)
Event Management / Web Security
Project Overview
The QR-Based Relay Debugging Website is a dynamic competition platform designed for high-energy technical events. It automates the coordination of relay-style debugging rounds, using unique QR code checkpoints to manage team transitions and track real-time progress.
Event Logic & Relay Mechanism
- QR-Triggered Progress: Implements a secure QR-scanning system that acts as a physical-to-digital bridge, ensuring team members are physically present at stations before unlocking the next debugging challenge.
- Live Leaderboard & Scoring: Features a real-time synchronized dashboard that calculates scores based on time-to-solve and code accuracy, providing instant feedback to participants and organizers.
- Role-Based Access Control: Includes distinct portals for participants to view challenges and for admins to monitor event health, manage time limits, and validate manual overrides.
- Session Persistence: Engineered to handle high-concurrency and network fluctuations, ensuring that team progress is saved instantly and can be resumed across different devices.
Technical Implementation
Frontend: Responsive, high-contrast UI built with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, optimized for fast mobile scanning and real-time DOM updates.
Backend: Powered by Python and Flask, utilizing customized routing logic to handle the relay-based state machine and QR validation.
Database Management: MongoDB stores event logs, team credentials, and dynamic challenge sets, allowing for rapid retrieval during peak event hours.
Event Scalability
The system is designed to manage hundreds of simultaneous requests, making it ideal for large-scale college symposiums or corporate hackathons where millisecond latency matters.
