Yes people, I will try. But my designing skills are not that much developed. I am still in basic stages of learning. The said competition requires a lot of skills.

Will we be participating as a CE team? So will we be creating a common project which will include all branches?
Let us say a robot, which will require embedded, programming and mechanically designed parts? 😀

1) See I think in this competition we just have to post an Idea with all the details no need to make it practical right now. so Lets think for the Best project which will change the Future.

2) Once we finalize the idea then we have to write an article and need some graphics So Ceans who have good skills in these can help in this.

@Ramani Sir ~ Can you give any idea?

You are doing well with the brain storming. A scan of the entries shows that some at least are quite simple. CEans can certainly up the ante on such. May be we can look at some problems of relevance to the so called third world (I do not care for the rather codescendding term). Something on sustainable technologies perhaps.
By 2050 it is estimated that India will have the world's largest geriatric population. (I am glad that I will not be guilty of contributing to that) We can look at geriatric aids that will help old people to live independently.
I am talking about 'nana' technology.

Guys I just get one suggestion from Cean-Ishu that if we discuss this thing Openly on Forum then there might be threaten that someone else get the idea and submit the project. So Ishu used to send the mail to interested Ceans.

I am agree with him.

Dear xheavenlyx,
Here are the relevant items from the rules page of the site.

Entries may be submitted by an individual or a design team. Team members may also submit entries on their own, provided those entries are substantially different than entries submitted by the team
The entrant, whether an individual or a team, may submit multiple different entries to the Contest but is allowed only one entry per category. Any prize won by a team will be distributed to the team leader designated on the entry form.

While the rules permit team entries, only an individual can file an entry. The rest of the team is listed separately as team members. Prizes are awarded to the project but given to the submitter. It is the team leader's responsibility to distribute the credit.
Unfortunately there is no provision to name the team.
