Robotix 2011 at IIT Kharagpur

I saw the news in a poster at College about the Robotix Event that is going to be held in IIT in coming January.

Following is some information about this event:

Robotix is Asia's largest college level robotics fest held in IIT Kharagpur during its techno-management fest Kshitij from 28th-31st Jan 2011. Robotix 2010 was a success with a participation from over 450 teams with over 2.5 lakhs worth prize money being distributed.
Robotix is said to return in 2011 with more challenging events and over 3 lakhs to be given away in prize money.

These are the events for ROBOTIX 2011:
