29–30 Oct 2026
IILM University, Greater Noida
1–5 Members
₹499 / team
Not a robot-building competition: physical hardware is optional. "You don't need the biggest robot. You need the smartest solution."
Competition Mission
Robotics & electronics for real-world impact. A problem-solving and innovation challenge where teams develop robotics, electronics, software, AI, IoT, or hybrid solutions for real-world problems. The challenge is revealed in advance so teams can research, ideate, design, validate, and pitch their solution.
Maximum 5 members per team. Recommended roles: Research, Ideation, Design (CAD), Electronics, Programming, AI/ML, UI/UX, Pitching, Documentation.
