  Technology Robotix Society invites all robot enthusiasts to
  ROBOTiX2010
  ROBOTiX is Asia's largest college level robotics fest held in IIT
  Kharagpur during its mega techno management fest Kshitij from 28th-31st
  Jan 2010.
  
  This years event challenges participants, from colleges all around the
  world, with 7 intriguing events.
  The mechanical events being
  eXplore - Participants build robots to navigate an obstacle course and
  release trapped targets. The catch? It's all underwater.
  
  TribotX Tournament- Teams will have their resourcefulness stretched
  to the limit. An event involving three tasks with the problem
  statement being released just 12 hours before the task.

  Hi guys
  
  In your Kshitij 2010, do you conduct any Computer related Workshop Events. I love those types of events. If there is any computer related workshop events happening than please intimate me. 😁

  our job is to design, build, and test a system capable of rapidly and accurately sorting the
  four waste materials noted above into distinct waste containers. This system must operate
  autonomously and be capable of both material identification and waste handling. Points will
  be awarded based on the proper identification and handling of the waste materials, as well
  as the speed required to process the materials and the weight of the device.​

  Project Details:​

  Students will be provided with a semi​

  ‐rigid waste container (a curbside recycling bin)
  containing twelve (12), randomly‐distributed waste products, specifically:
  1. Three (3) empty, irregularly‐shaped plastic bottles, measuring approximately 75
  mm (± 20 mm) in maximum diameter and 220 mm (± 20 mm) tall.
  2. Three (3) empty, irregularly‐shaped aluminum cans, measuring approximately 65
  mm (± 20 mm) in maximum diameter and 120 mm (± 20 mm) tall.
  3. Three (3) empty, irregularly‐shaped tin‐coated steel containers, measuring
  approximately 75 mm (± 20 mm) in maximum diameter and 110 mm (± 20 mm)
  tall.​

  ​

  4. Three (3) empty, irregularly‐shaped glass containers, measuring approximately
  60 mm (± 20 mm) in maximum diameter and 95 mm (± 20 mm) tall.
  At the start signal, these waste products will be poured by one (1) student, without direct
  student/waste product contact, from the semi‐rigid waste container into a clearly‐labeled,
  un‐segmented/undivided hopper attached to the student’s automated waste sorter (AWS).
  This student will then toggle a clearly‐labeled master shut‐off switch. Upon toggling, the AWS
  will need to autonomously sort the twelve waste products into five (5) distinct, clearlylabeled
  waste containers (transparent bins, boxes, or bags provided by the students) – one
  for each of the four (4) groups of waste products and a fifth container for
  unsorted/unclassified objects.​

  
  

  Device Requirements:​

  1. The AWS must autonomously identify, handle, and sort the aforementioned
  waste products.
  2. The AWS must be powered by readily​

  ‐available, over‐the‐counter, dry‐cell,
  rechargeable batteries.
  3. The AWS must have a readily‐accessible and clearly‐labeled master shut‐off
  switch.
  4. The AWS must be deemed by the judges to be safe. Any system deemed at the
  judges’ discretion to be unsafe will be immediately disqualified and not allowed
  to participate in the competition.
  5. To ensure ample space, the entirety of the AWS must fit within a container
  measuring, on the inside, 340 x 580 x 400 mm. The AWS must fit within this box
  fully assembled. Any expansion or extension of the AWS must be done
  autonomously by the system itself during the competition run.
  6. The five (5) waste containers (bins, boxes, or bags provided by the competitors)
  – one for each of the four (4) groups of waste products and an additional (1)
  container for unsorted/unclassified objects – must be clearly labeled and
  transparent.​
