DESCRIPTION:The Robothon was one of the most exciting and technically inten
 sive events of R&amp;D EXPO 2026. Designed to test participants’ robotics kn
 owledge\, hardware integration skills\, and problem-solving abilities\, th
 e event provided a platform for students to showcase innovation in automat
 ion and intelligent systems.\n\nThe competition focused on practical imple
 mentation\, where participants were required to design and operate robots 
 capable of completing specific tasks within a structured arena.\n\nEvent S
 tructure\n\nParticipants competed in teams and were assigned a defined rob
 otic challenge\, which involved navigating obstacles\, performing specific
  movements\, or completing assigned objectives within a time limit.\n\nThe
  event consisted of the following stages:\n\nStage 1 – Setup &amp; Inspectio
 n:\n• Teams assembled and tested their robots.\n• Judges inspected har
 dware compliance and safety measures.\n\nStage 2 – Trial Round:\n• Tea
 ms were given a short trial attempt to understand the arena layout.\n• M
 inor adjustments to programming or hardware were allowed.\n\nStage 3 – F
 inal Run:\n• Robots were required to complete the assigned task within t
 he stipulated time.\n• Performance was judged based on accuracy\, speed\
 , stability\, and task completion.\n\nEvaluation Criteria\n\nRobots were e
 valuated based on:\n\n• Task completion efficiency\n• Time taken\n• 
 Design innovation\n• Stability and control\n• Technical implementation
 \n\nBonus points were awarded for smooth navigation and creative design ap
 proaches.\n\n[]\n\nRoom: Drobotics Lab\, Bldg: Academic Block\, Jaypee Uni
