Robofiesta: National Robotics Championship
Robofiesta is a national level robotics and automation championship held every year in India. Initiated by Times World Group in 2014, Robofiesta for the most part focuses on school and undergrad students. Robofiesta is organized in association with IITs [Indian Institute of Technology] and AICRA [All India Council for Robotics and Automation]. Competition is organized at IIT [Indian Institute of Technology], renowned school and college campuses across India. Pavan Kumar, Co-Founder at Wingfotech Pvt. Ltd, was appointed as the Project Head of this championship in 2014.

The Championship consists of two categories, Regular and College. The competition offers two rivalries during the scholastic year for students at three increasingly difficult levels: Institute, State and Grand Finale. Prior to the competition, students are availed with workshops on different skills delivered by the professionals from IITs. Participants advance through the levels by performing well in their current division. All the participants are facilitated with an International Certification in Association with IAARC [International Association for Automation & Robotics in Construction], USDLA [United States Distance Learning Association] & IADL [International Association for Distance Learning].

Other than competition, students can also avail alluring workshops ranging from Robotics to Android Development, from 3Ds Max to Auto-CAD, from Quad-copter to Digital Marketing with hypothetical and handy experience.

Following its underlying foundations to 2014, Robofiesta has won around 40+ honors across the country in the field of Robotics Education and sorted out 20,000+ workshops and sanctioned about 3200 projects of the students.

Mission
The Robofiesta is all about robotics and automation. It provides students opportunities to learn advancing technology, interact, demonstrate, problem-solving, and improve their team work. Robofiesta is a national level platform for the e academia, industry, and network to sparkle the focus on and raise the desires of the upcoming age of robotics and automation experts as they seek after excellence.

Categories of The Championship
The Regular category, it consists of three different age groups: Elementary, Junior High and Senior High. Participants below the age of 13 are considered as Elementary, participants from ages 13 until 16 years old are considered Junior High and participants between 17–19 are considered Senior High.

Workshops
Robofiesta offers several workshops which are designed to develop one’s skills in solving real-life problems with the help of robotics and automation. Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Quad-copter, Ethical Hacking, Internet of Things, Big Data Hadoop, Robotics, 3D Printing, Cellbotics, Machine Learning, and Data Science are the domains covered by workshops. The workshops are provided by seasoned experts from IITs, NITs, and other prestigious institutes. Enthusiasts find the workshops so helpful that people use their knowledge and ideas in various other national level Robotics competitions.

Primitive Level
After going through the rigorous training during the workshops, the students participate at institute level competition. The teams are divided into 2 to 3 members each. A professional mentor assigned to resolve queries of the participants is allowed in this level of championship. Various projects assigned to different groups. The students are shortlisted on the basis of performance, feasibility, usage, creativity, and many other parameters.

State Level
Among the winners from Schools and Colleges, participants for State Level Challenges are shortlisted who compete against each other at the State Robofiesta. Not more than three team are allowed to take part in the next level of the championship form a single institution. As the competition gets more gruelling each day, the experts and educators work alongside the students to provide their guidance to the young minds. Students at this stage are asked to bring out some surprise element in their project.

While transition of teams from Institute level to State Robofiesta, teams remain same. Although, in the State level competition Robofiesta can ask one of the member of the teams to reshuffle and go to other random team so as to make it more sophisticated for the team members to adopt a new member and work along with him.

Many other various schemes are brought while the teams are working on their project. Robofiesta calls these schemes as Bombardments. Teams conquering all such challenges successfully, advance towards the final big step.

Grand finale
Those who deliver excellence at the State Level competition, go on to participate at the National Level Robofiesta competition and face the toughest level of challenges that Robofiesta has in store.

Certification and Prizes
An International Certification in Association with IAARC [International Association for Automation & Robotics in Construction], USDLA [United States Distance Learning Association] & IADL [International Association for Distance Learning].
