A group of six students from department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, KhEC, Nepal, participated in the annual four-day inter-collegiate technical and entrepreneurship festival, Techkriti, held at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur. The team participated in the Bot Maneuvering competition, which challenged the participants to design and build a robot that could navigate a complex obstacle course within a set time limit.
The group had been preparing for the competition for several months and traveled from their college in Nepal to IIT Kanpur. They visited various laboratories at IIT Kanpur, including Mechanical and Electronics and Communications, where they learned about the latest technology and advancements in the field of robotics.
On March 24, the group participated in the Bot Maneuvering competition at Techkriti. They defeated team “Vinayak” from NIT, Warangal in the first round but unfortunately got defeated in the next round. Despite not winning the competition, they gained a lot of knowledge and insights into the latest technology and resources used by other teams.
The event provided them with valuable networking opportunities, and they met several participants from different countries, including Nepalese students who were pursuing their masters and PhD degrees at IIT. The team hopes to inspire others to pursue their passion for robotics and strive for excellence in this field.
The group's participation in the Bot Maneuvering competition was a great learning experience and allowed them to showcase their skills and represent their country on a global platform. The team's success at the competition is a testament to the talent and dedication of Nepalese students and their potential to make significant contributions to the field of robotics.
