  TECHNICAL EVENTS ​

  Circuitrix​

  “The engineer's first problem in any design situation is to discover what the problem really is.”
  This event tests the participants’ technical knowledge and their presence of mind in applying
  their theoretical knowledge to find out and correct the bugs in circuits in both analog and
  digital domains.
  
  Topcoderz
  Education cannot make anybody an expert programmer any more than studying brushes and
  pigment can make somebody an expert painter. This event brings out the talents required for
  the embedded industry from the emerging engineers of today. This singular event tests their
  programming skills over a multitude of languages – HDL, MATLAB and Assembly language.
  
  C de-bug
  Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the
  code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. This event
  tests the participants’ fundamentals in debugging, in which they are required to find out the
  bugs in the given C/C++ codes, and correct them. The contest is especially for those who have
  delved deep into the sea of C/C++.
  
  Comm. Inc.
  [FONT="]This never-before seen event aims at educating the electronic engineer with interesting tidbits
  and trivia in the fields of signals, communication and networking, which are essential to
  discover and appreciate the intricacies of the technological developments that have taken
  place around us.
  
  [/FONT]Math Modeling
  [FONT="]The human mind has never invented a labor-saving machine equal to algebra. Even geometry
  may not be true, but it is highly advantageous. Here participants from a multitude of streams
  unite to exhibit their analytical skills and understanding of higher mathematical concepts, to
  solve practical problems by converting them into mathematical models.

  On-Stage Events
  
  
  
  
  How Stuff Works
  
  This event is designed to test the perception and interpretation of the
  
  everyday phenomena that one may witness, but to which one may
  
  not have given second thoughts. This on-stage event tests the
  
  participants’ awareness of the “how” and “why” of the things around.
  
  
  General Quiz
  
  With interactive audio-visual questions, the General Quiz is designed
  
  to make the participants beat their brains out for the ever-elusive right
  
  answer. This signature event is sure to draw large crowds for it
  
  comprises questions from varied realms - entertainment, sports,
  
  history, and current affairs.

  Descrypt
  This online event tests the participants’ intuitive understanding of basic electronics. Given
  just the basic elements – transistors, resistors, inductors and capacitors – connected in sinister
  designs, the participant will need to identify the working of the circuit or the logic function that
  it may represent.
  
  Question Paper will be uploaded in the site on Feb 28, 9 PM IST
  
  
  E-Chip
  It is an event that caters to the enthusiastic VLSI designers of the corporate world. It
  encourages contemporary thinking as well as out-of-the-box solutions to industrial problems in
  CMOS technology.
  
  Question Paper will be uploaded in the site on Feb 21, 9 PM IST
  
  Arithmania
  It's a mathematics oriented puzzles event. Some problems to be solved are
  put up in the site on a weekly basis. Solve the problems and post the
  solutions in the site within the stipulated time. This week's questions are
  already up. Head up to the site.
  
  Puzzles
  Do you like interesting and tough puzzles? Are you thrilled by how a puzzle
  is solved by a detective in mystery books? Then solve these puzzles. This is
  also a weekly edition and this week's puzzles are up for grabs at the site.
  Answer them and win goodies..

  ROBOTICS
  
  
  1) DEAD END:
  
  This is a line follower event. You are required to build an autonomous line follower robot that can overcome the real time traffic situations simulated in the arena specified.
  
  For other rules and arena specifications, head to the web site.
  
  
  2) LAND STALKERS:
  
  Build a manually controlled mechanical robot to avoid obstacles in it's path and to do combat with an opponent robot
  
  Prelims:
  Prelims is sumo wrestling. . The arena will be a ring. The robot which gets pushed out of the ring will be disqualified.
  
  Finals:
  In the finals, the bot will have to do the following jobs:
  
  

  • pass through ramps
  • pass through different terrains like sand, gravel, etc.
  • clear obstacles in it's path
  • guide a ball from the arena surface to the hole in top of a ramp.

  Workshops
  
  Introduction:
  
  Workshops truly reflect our credo of ‘fostering innovation’. By roping in stalwarts of the industry from various fields, we provide students with a unique opportunity to interact with them and gain exposure to cutting edge, high speed technology. Highly informative sessions on burgeoning technologies like VLSI, Embedded Systems, Wireless communications & Robotics by leading academicians serve as an eye-opener to budding technologists by enabling them to identify potential areas for their specialization.
  
  1.Cypress Semiconductors: - 4th Mar, 2009
  

  CyFi Low-Power RF Solution ​

  The CyFi Low-Power RF solution is a highly reliable, easy-to-use 2.4-GHz answer to a wide range of wireless embedded control challenges. It enables designers to create wireless systems without making compromises to overcome the typical risks of unreliable performance, complex implementation, and high power consumption. By combining Cypress's PSoC programmable system-on-chip, a sophisticated yet lightweight network protocol stack, and a Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) transceiver, the CyFi solution achieves levels of reliability, simplicity, and power-efficiency unmatched by other embedded wireless technologies.
  
  Apart from Demo, there will also be a Hands-On experience to the interested participants.
