How to Prepare for the KRS Robotics & AI Hackathon 2026
Strategic advice on assembling multidisciplinary teams, planning hardware component kits, and preparing for the 24-hour national challenge.

# Mastering the 24-Hour Build
The KRS Robotics & AI Hackathon 2026 at IILM University Greater Noida brings together 50 shortlisted national teams for a continuous 24-hour sprint. Success requires more than just coding speed—it demands rigorous system architecture.
## 1. Team Balance
With an exact team size of 5 participants, optimal teams balance mechanical fabrication, embedded firmware, computer vision/AI pipelines, and technical presentation skills.
## 2. Modular Architecture
In a 24-hour sprint, monolithic codebases lead to fatal integration bottlenecks. Establish strict message schemas and API contracts at Hour 2 so mechanical, electrical, and software streams can progress simultaneously.
