Robocon 2013

The theme for Robocon 2013 was “Green Planet”. We built autonomous and semi autonomous robots capable of picking and placing multiple large cylindrical objects (leaves) up to an extension of five meters. These robots transferred the objects among themselves, communicated with each other during transfer (near distance IR) and were capable of dynamically changing their paths depending on situation.

One of them was equipped with a pneumatic mechanism capable of reliably launching a projectile (bud) to a circular disc (moon) of 400 mm diameter at a distance of 8 meters away and 1.5 meters elevation. This was the first time an Indian team successfully implemented holonomic drive in Robocon.
