Dear all,

Acknowledging the dire need of technical exposure for the present day undergraduate students all over the country, students of IIT Guwahati are organizing ESCALADE, an All India robotics competition as a part of their annual Techno-Management festival, TECHNICHE. Escalade would cover 12 major cities of India, thus serving as an extremely judicious platform to recognize the acute technical abilities hidden in the undergraduate students hailing from these cities.

The event is planned to be conducted in two phases, Prelims (to be conducted in the respective cities) and Mains (to be conducted in IIT Guwahati during Techniche 2012).The date for the Prelims in Hyderabad and Vizag is 15th July, 2012.

Top 3 teams from each city would be selected from the Prelims round and invited to IIT Guwahati to participate in the Mains competition during Techniche this year. These teams would be getting a “Ticket 2 Techniche”. The winners of the Mains event at Techniche would receive prizes worth Rs. 50,000. Apart from this, they get an amazing opportunity to witness as well as participate in various other events to be conducted during the 3 days of the Techno-Management extravaganza. The registration fee for the Prelims round is Rs. 200 per team.We will also be conducting workshops for students who have an inclination towards the field of robotics.
