National level Robotics Competition

[Chetan Agrawal]

Consendo is a national level robotics competition organized by SIES Graduate School of Technology, Navi Mumbai. The central premise for the competition is relevance to the real world, and hence, no controlled environments. Participant teams are expected to build a robot that can clean a room provided to them, using any platform of choice. The dimensions of the room to be cleaned will be provided in the abstract. Navigation in the arena will not be restricted to tracks as typically employed by line follower based robots.

The competition will be held on 24^th Feb 2015, in SIESGST, Nerul premises. The reason to hold such a competition is that we believe we have reached a point form where we need to build robots that finally work in the real world scenario. If you have a similar opinion then help us in spreading the word for the competition by bringing in active participation from your college.

Entry fee: Rs.750 for a team of 4-6.

Price money: Rs.20,000.
