If there’re a few months of the academic year that students hate, it must be August and September. These are the two dry months with very meagre holidays. There’s the mid-term that is the first after schools reopened in June and kids still have a good one and a half months before the Dussehra vacations. These are two months that Kids find it hard to pass and have nothing much to get excited about. This is something we sympathize with. We at Kidobotikz believe that the minds of bored kids are breeders of unproductivity. So we decided to give them something to get excited. We have decided to conduct an event that gets them all pumped up in excitement and puts the boring weekends of their August to good use. We are gonna get them engaged doing the thing they love the most- building robots.

If you already have a guess on what we are talking about, Yes! you got it right. We are talking about the KRG ! Yes, it is the same event that got kids enthused in April and we are back with it in a grander form! For those of you who aren’t quite aware of what’s being discussed here, here it goes. KRG, which is an abbreviation for Kidobotikz Robo Games, is the high octane robotics event initiated and conducted by Kidobotikz for all the schoolyard robotic wizards of chennai. It is an event that we conduct roughly thrice every year depending on the demand to settle “robotic” battle scores from previous editions. However, so far the excitement and euphoria at the end of each KRG have always simmered and spilt over into the subsequent editions forcing us to scale up every successive edition. This edition is no different either. 

Talking more about the August edition, this is the 2nd KRG edition of 2016 and the 9th edition overall. It is being organized to bring in fray more robots to battle out their respective prowess on the makeshift arenas. One thing about these arenas, they’ve gotten bigger with each edition to manage the ever increasing influx of robots that ram into each other and knock out others in the process. Oh, and did we tell you that it is open for all students across all types of robots. Besides, we have rolled out a broad category of events for students to participate in. So, it is advised that readers bring your own binoculars to spot the bot you are supporting amidst the carnage of robots that fight it out on the big arena. And before we forget, the theme of this edition’s project display is Clean India. In line with the Shri Narendra Modi’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and the core principles it espouses, we have set Clean India as our theme for this event. So, we already have students thronging the Makerspace of Kidobotikz to get their “Clean India”-themed bots ready. So, we promise you a realm of mopping and vacuuming robots on display at KRG this time. We request you to not be late to the party and get your robots ready and registered well before the 11th hour. The registrations for the project display have commenced as well. In case you are wondering why has there been no mention of the venue until now, then you’re in for a bit of disappointment. We are still keeping the venue and the dates for event on the “qt” to prevent any media attention until the last moment. 

So, the likelyhood of you getting to know about the venue and dates in hush-hush tones at the Kidobotikz offices is an ever present spoiler. But don’t give in to rumours. We will be updating you with the date and venues well in advance to provide you with ample time for preparation. For students who are reading this article, you can find your problem statements by visiting the Kidobotikz website or also by simply clicking here. Stay updated on the blog and you’ll find it out yourself.
