For most of us who have a defined notion of the word “Fun”, today would’ve been an awakening experience! It was the first day of KRG and the day could not have turned out better! The day turned out to be absolutely fantabulous with lots of action. The ingredients for the usual though- Children, Robots and Competitions. For the audience though, the event was an absolute gala.
With parents and children making to the event in droves, the event was an absolute crowd puller; in particular there were a number of enthusiastic drop ins from the student community of the College of Engineering, Guindy. With both parents and students having fun, they desired to catch some of the roboting action for themselves.
The first day of the ninth edition of KRG began with some exceptional jubilation thanks to the regular attendees of KRG. The event in itself commenced on time with the robots getting caged and vetted for registration at 8:30 AM. As the first event, Temple Run (Stock robots), commenced at little past 9 AM simultaneous preparations were underway for participation of the second event. The second event, Robo Sumo, which was one of the star attractions of the day began with much fanfare and saw a huge participation. When the morning session for this event concluded at around noon, it was a good 3 hours of high intensity roboting at the TAG Auditorium.
Meanwhile, another important event was underway supplementing all the action at the TAG Auditorium. At the H.M Hall adjoining the TAG Auditorium, a project expo event was organized which encompassed a myriad of projects conceived and developed by the students of Kidobotikz. Each of these individual projects were brilliant in their own right with some truly eye catching concepts.
In line with the PM Shri Narendra Modi’s “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan”, this edition of KRG’s project had a specific “Clean India” theme. All the projects on display were in line with this theme and students had painstakingly developed some interesting concepts for display to the outside world. Their efforts, however, were sufficiently rewarded with a lot of students turning up to grab a presentation of these projects. Henry Maudslay, the great inventor and after whom the H.M hall is named after, would be proud man to have witnessed such young innovative minds.
Schools from various parts of the city honoured Kidobotikz’s invitation and brought their students here to view the projects on display. Among these, the contingent from Jeppiaar School was by far the largest with close to 300 students attending KRG.
After a brief recess, the afternoon events began with great fervour. The overcast skies and sumptuous luncheon seemed to have had no effect on the energies of the participants. If anything, the pitch of the event was higher than the morning. At around 2:30 PM, to the sounding of whistles, the robo races and robo sumos resumed with a great deal of joy from both the participants and the audience.
When one of the two last standing robots were nudged out of the arena, the games for the day came to a close with the next event being for parents. This event which was conducted by Kidobotikz to entertain all the mothers of the kidobotikz student community, was much appreciated by all.
At around 6:30 PM the curtains were brought down on the first day of the Kidobotikz Robo Games 2016- August Edition. With still another day left in the event, the action continues tomorrow from where we left it today.
Kidobotikz is a leading EdTech startup offering Robotics Courses for students. Moving from a Robotics training Institute which conducted Robotics classes to a “Learn Robotics Online”, Kidobotikz today has 4 levels of Kits which offer Robotics for Kids. If the question on your mind is “How to learn robotics”, then the answer is Kidobotikz.
