The spirit of collaboration is something that leaves a lovely impact on one who bears witness to the same. When two minds come together and try to work together as a single entity and attain a common goal, it is something that defines that key difference between us humans and other species on the planet- civility. And when young minds come together to develop tech concepts, it shows how much we have come forward as a species. Back at Kidobotikz, this form of partnership is witnessed quite often when students from different schools and different parts of the city come together to develop something that gives them immense joy- A working model. Meet Amay Anand and Vishal Harinandanan, fellow Kidobotikzians and now friends. The two of them are here on the weekend to develop a concept to display at KRG’s August edition.I had already interviewed one of them yesterday while the other one was busy with some aspects of the project. Today, Amay, the taller one of the duo finally found some time to sit down for a chat with me.
Hey Amay! Why don’t you temme about yourself and how you discovered Kidobotikz?
I am Amay Anand. I study in the 8th Grade at PSBB KK Nagar. I am in the Advanced level here at Kidobotikz. I joined Kidobotikz because of my sister. When I saw my sister learning interesting things in programming and do the same on our computer, I grew curious. I wanted to learn those “cool” things as well. Hence, I joined Kidobotikz.
That is interesting. Since when are you at Kidobotikz? And do your classmates know about the same?
I joined here 3 years ago when I was in class 6. I did a couple of the basic courses, then took a break before taking up my Advanced level this year. As for my friends, they can’t hear enough of Kidobotikz from me. I boast to them about the bots i make every week and make fun of them with the same.
That is amusing. Talking about boasting, have you participated in robotic events?
I have taken part in robotic competitions. I recently took part in a line tracer bot competition. Besides, as Vishal told you, we are building a line tracing transbot for this edition of KRG.
So, what do you plan to do with the immense knowledge of robotics you gain here?
Learning robotics actually helps me understand the way other things work. I love understanding the working mechanisms of all kinds of things. So, I wanna build on my knowledge of robotics and learn other areas as well.
Impressive! Which type of robot do you read more about?
Well, I love things that I am capable of building on my own. As of now, I am capable of building good Line Tracer robots. So, I gotta say they are my favourite at the moment.
That is cool. One last question before we move on, what are your plans for the future?
My love has always been in programming and coding. So, I wanna pursue a degree in preferably Electrical or Computer science engineering. IIT-M or IIT-Delhi are the universities where I wanna see myself in. After that, I wanna work on some interesting areas like Nanotechnology, Agribots. Particularly Agribots because they are a challenge to design and build.
