Hi
Robotics is one of the current leading technological advances; it is
rapidly growing in popularity, at the hobby level as well as at the
industry standard. With this in mind, there is going to be a new
Robotics Club
starting next year. Please note that this club is in addition to the
Electronics Club, which will focus primarily on electronics.
The aim of the Robotics Club will be to support and foster interest in
various aspects related to robotics; in particular, mechanical design.
The club will cater to the interests of hobbyists and beginners in
robotics, as well as of seniors who may be involved in professional
design. The club will also extend support to the participants of
robotics-related competitions that are held at Shaastra and Techfest,
for instance. Through this club, we hope to create a steady culture for
innovative robotics design in the campus.
Nominations for the Club Managers (2 positions) for the Robotics
Club (2011-12) are invited. The Club Managers will lead a team of 6
coordinators to organize events including workshops, competitions
(including GCs) and talks, as well as float and manage projects to
promote robotics in the institute. A
detailed description of duties and powers, is available in the
constitution attached.
To be eligible, candidates should have completed at least 3 semesters as a
student at IIT Bombay and should not be passing out before
April 2012. Moreover, they should have no active backlogs or dropped
courses. Candidates should not be holding any other position in the
institute during 2011-12.
Procedure:
Please prepare a Statement of Purpose. Since this is a new club, we
expect you to come up with new and original ideas - this will make a
strong part of your application. Candidates are requested
to do their groundwork well; we are looking for people who will not
only ensure the club functions well, but will take the lead and bring
something new to the club. The website
(
http://www.stab-iitb.org) will also have useful information.
