Team of four were formed, and each team was assigned a mentor, and they all worked under the supervision of the Coordinators. They were taught how to do soldering, sawing, drilling and using their creativity to come up with different ideas on how to build the hand mechanism of the robot. First they learned how to convert AC voltage to DC using a rectifier and transformer. Everything which the students studied in books was implemented in real life. After the power supply was set, the mentors showed them how to build the remote and the base chassis of the bot. The hand mechanism was left up to their creativity but full support was given from our side even till the last hour of the event. Everyone interacted with each other freely, and they were given first-hand experience. It was a learning experience for the mentors too. The mentors too made mistakes and learnt from it.Description of the track created by the UCR team for the event: the track was divided into following 9 stages which the first years had to complete in order to move to the next stage: 1. To push two boxes into the cavity in order to make the path for bot, 2. Then rotate anti-clockwise such that the door for the next level will open, 3.then a combination of a narrow path with a huge cavity and deadly stairs, 4. A zigzag path in which a combination of Domino (push in order to make path) and traffic cone (in order to slow the bot), 5. A bridge in which you have to put 2 boxes from both sides so that you can push the wooden plate, and the path continues, 6. 3 rotating sticks for which you have to cross safely without touching them along with a turbulent bridge will make the bot slow, 7. Then two rotating long sticks which will throw the bot out from the path cross it without touching them, 8. Then the giant see-saw, where you have to cross it in one go and speedily else you would fall, 9. And at the end the bots had to make a mega jump safely on the platform.
