A trip to the “God’s Own Country” is usually one that nobody affords to miss. All of us who’ve been there can relate to the beautiful beaches, the lovely shorelines and the wonderful weather. But when you also roboting into this mix, it becomes an experience for a lifetime . Thanks to NIT-Calicut’s Tatva ’16, Kidobotikzians are enjoying the very same thing at the moment!


A strong contingent of students belonging to the Kidobotikz student community are currently here at NIT Calicut taking part in what can be named a full on tech-extravaganza! Called Tatva ‘16, it is an annual tech festival. Featuring students from across the country, the two day event can be considered a tough event. As we come close to the end of the first of the two day event, we wanted to take a break from all the roboting action and tell you how our experience was. 

Being a tech fest, Tatva has an elaborate set of events for the best of geeks amongst us. To test their roboting skills and prove their mettle, Kidobotikzians had decided to take part in an event that is meant for college students. Yes, you read it right! Kidobotikzians are the only school students who are taking part in the event meant for colleges. And the story doesn’t end their. A few of them have actually bested their performance to take home a few prizes.

The first day of Tatva ‘16 began with some exceptional brouhaha thanks to the tough competition among the participating teams. As a matter of fact, the campaign was kickstarted on a winning note when Vishal Desh, who is a strong favourite at the event, took the honours for winning Accelero Botx. The contest which happened yesterday saw Vishal contest against some fierce opposition and emerge victorious.

Meanwhile, the itinerary for the second day, today, was jam packed with truly amazing events such as Dirt Race, Schwimmwagen, Collision Course and Death Race League of Machines. While the first two were events which involved the usage ATV robots, the latter two were events which were robotic battles. The star event for Kidobotikzians was Amazed where four students belonging to the community- Vishal Desh, Abhishek Shankar, Chitresh, S.Charan- won prizes. 

As we go into the third day, there are several more events in the fray and the Kidobotikzians are fresh from their exploits and the first two days. With still a lot of exciting events to be played out, one can expect the Kidobotikzians to bring back a lot of trophies.
