The team consists of a group of engineers from various fields who make a dexterous effort towards a common goal which is to design and fabricate a robot from scratch to participate in the competition - which is ABU-ROBOCON.

We constantly strive to explore different technologies and use minimal resources to build robots that can complete tasks effectively.

What is ROBOCON ?

http://www.aburobocon2016.com/rules/

Since 2002, ABU has been annually organizing an international level robotics contest ABU-ROBOCON. Participants come all over from Asia to compete at ROBOCON.

Every year, teams from all over India are invited to build 2 Robots from scratch

The robots must perform the tasks mentioned in the rule book provided by the organization in the stipulated amount of time.

The competition is held at Balewadi, Pune organised by MIT, Pune
