IIT Techfest 2011: The Robowars

We apologize for this rather delayed Techfest coverage but then we have a good excuse to put up before you for the delay. The event itself! We were too busy covering it (Add some technical glitches to it as well). Any way now that we’re here, let’s see some of the major events we stopped by on day one!

We start off with RoboWars which is arguably one of the most popular events in the show. Unless you have been in a cave all these while, you should have an idea as to what this event is all about. Anyway, as the name suggests, ( and as you might have already guessed by now), its all about robots warring against each other. The idea is to destroy – your competitors’ contraption using whatever means possible.

 

If you’re wondering why the warring robots are placed inside glass enclosures, they are there for protecting people from the flying debris (and not the robots as you might have assumed).

Now we’ll let pictures do all the talking. (And a video of one of the competitions as well)
