The ROBOTICS SEMINAR
By Kaustubh Labhe SE EXTC

The Robotics event, held under ‘Tatva ‘09’, was extravagant and huge, maintaining its legacy. The event attracted a lot of crowd, with participants and spectators from various Navi Mumbai and Mumbai colleges. One of the reasons for the same, being the inclusion of a new event called as ‘Autonomous Robotics’. Apart from that there were four Level 1 events namely Robo Sumo, Robo hurdles, Robo F1 and Soccer. The events were conducted on all three days of the fest, with qualifying rounds on first two days and finals on the concluding day. The response seen for all the events was tremendous in spite of the scorching heat and ‘no music’ near the Amphitheatre!!
The event heads did a marvelous job of designing and setting their tracks, with a little support from some volunteers. The turns and twists in the tracks of F1 and Hurdles, gave a hard time for some of the participants, thus toughening the competition. Robo Sumo was purely a game ‘for the robots, of the robots’. The toughest and the meanest of them were claimed the winner. The volunteers didn’t leave any stone unturned to ensure a smooth flow of the events. At the end of the day, robotics was a success, with the event heads finally sipping their coffee, satisfactorily.
