competitions techfest 2k14
DESCRIPTION
Existence of competition still boils the blood when served with the principle of divide and rule. With the advancement in technology, the ways of warfare have changed accordingly from stones and swords to ammunition while the avidity of humans to conquer the throne is still the same. Come, witness and get an experience of the clash between the advanced technological automated robots prevailing over their foes for prestige in battle field of Techfest 2014 in the month of January under the dome of competitions.TRANSCRIPT

Robotron
Magneto• Teams must build a wireless controlled machine that is controlled
solely by wrist movement.
• The robots must compete in a one-on-one match to transfer the ballsto opponent’s arena to earn maximum points.
• The robot must do the allotted task within the time stipulated.
Polaroid: Puzzle of Pixel• Teams have to make a 'pirate' bot which will make a pattern using
principle of image processing.
Hover-On
• Team must build an autonomous hovercraft to traverse through the arena using line following mechanism.
Scholastic• Open for the students of 8th – 12th standard.
• Team must build a wireless controlled DC propulsion vehicle.
• Following skills will be tested:Suspension system (optional)Ball hittingDriving skillsSpeedPower
Xtreme Machines
Robowars: Death Well
• Design and construct a remote controlled robot capableof fighting a one on one tournament.
Full Throttle: The Chase
• Make a wireless remote controlled machine, poweredonly by an IC engine, which can race against otheropponents on an off-road dirt track with manyobstacles.
AviatorFlying Design
• The competition requires the participant to perform a set of manoeuvres.
• The participants will have to do spot landing i.e. land the plane in a define area after completing the manoeuvres.
• Design and make a fast, light, wireless remote controlled aircraft (using electric motors only), which can manoeuvre around the mentioned path and having a maximum wing loading in the least possible time, before landing in the specified zone.
Cassiopeian Wars• Continuing the trend of bringing the most exciting gala of
bots, Techfest once again brings the National Zonals -Cassiopeian Wars to test the 3 basics in technology ineach element of the competition.

Cassiopeian Wars
Cassiopeian Wars
Apexo
• Teams must build a manually controlled machinewhich can collect as well as deposit balls from thecollection zone to the deposition zone.
Grid Warrior
• Teams must build an autonomous bot which canfind the correct coordinates and navigate there bythe principles of line following.
Codestruck
• Teams are required to solve the real life problemsthrough coding. Programming skills of participantswould be tested.
Dimensions
Hydranoid: Rush
• Make a manually controlled machine, which can travel the specified obstacle course using Hydraulic mechanisms only.
Contraption
• Make a multi-step arrangement with the ultimate aim of rolling a ball to knock out the light weight bowling pins.
Code Master
HackTricks• Workshops shall be conducted with an aim of grooming the
students with the fundamentals of ethical hacking and cybersecurity, which are no doubt the most exciting part of the event.
• Finalists for the Hack Tricks competition will be selected by zonallegs of the Ethical Hacking Outreach Program pan India.
InternationalCoding Challenge• Teams are required to solve the real life problems through
coding. Programming skills of participants would be tested.
International Challenge
International Robotics Challenge• Being held in 11 countries across the globe in France, Russia,
Ethiopia, Sweden and many more
• There will be two bots, a manual and an autonomous. They need tocoordinate with each other to complete the task
Model United Nations
• Model United Nations (also Model UN or MUN) is anacademic simulation of the United Nations that aims toeducate participants about current events, topics ininternational relations, diplomacy and the United Nationsagenda.
Designeer
Techfest
• Design an integrated motor and transmission system (withcontroller) for a hybrid car for the future.
Automotive Challenge
Inclino• Techfest brings you the challenge to design a structure
similar to “The leaning tower of Pisa” using popsicle sticksand adhesive that can sustain the mentioned load,satisfying the constraints.
Reform‘n’ationA challenge to lead to India
