When someone asks me what my favourite about Kidobotikz is, I usually nod and not answer it. That’s because there are some many things here to love. Call it a fountainhead of knowledge if you will, for things that are happening here are not easy to describe in mundane words. However, if there is one very amazing thing that I consider as a treat at Kidobotikz, it is the weekend interactions I get to have with the young and inspiring minds who come here on the weekends with a very common interest on mind- robotics. Every week I get to meet some of the brightest and well versed young minds in whose hands this country will definitely be a tech driven place to live.
Most of these students don’t just wanna learn, they have a rather innate desire to contribute their knowledge and expertise and gain pleasure from the same. Today was no different either. I met a young chap conversing with whom just helped wipe away the rigours of my working day.
Rohith. C, as his Kidobotikz notebook reads, is a young guy with the dreams too mature than his age warrants. This Expert level Kidobotikz-ian, who is a 9th Grader at Devi Academy Senior Secondary School, has been obsessed with robotics even before the crossed the age of 10. From fiddling with small DC motors in his class 4 to working on interesting robots, he has come a long way. I ask him how he got to know Kidobotikz and he rather proudly admits that he was interested in learning robotics for a very long time and could not enroll in any related courses due to his age gap. And then one day he found the contact information for Kidobotikz on JustDial.com and immediately wasted no time in getting himself enrolled in Kidobotikz’s courses.
This robotics enthusiast, who has a rather composed and humble demeanour, has achieved quite a few laurels for his age. He has participated in quite a few robotics events. Currently, he’s working on a “Self Balancing Robot” for which he is taking guidance from a faculty at Kidobotikz. Ever since he caught the clip of Kamal Haasan riding a Segway on Dasavatharam, he says he’s been obsessed with the concept of a segway and wants to experiment more on this kind of a robot. He believes that applications where robotic servants that ride self balanced wheels to move around the rooms of a residence will change the way humans experience comfort in their living rooms. That’s quite a bit of futurism for a 9th Grader.
Happy Roboting ! !
