Trio World Academy Students Win Robofest National Robotic Competition 2017 and earn ‘Spirit of Robofest’ award at International Competition.
Trio World Academy students Dheemanth Suddekunte and Gautam Saravanan of Grade 3 along with Siddharth V Dharwar from Poorna Learning Center won the national Robofest competition in the junior sumo wrestling category held in Bangalore. The event saw participation from around 60 schools and 350 students filling the galleries with their parents. They qualified to compete in the international leg of the competition that was held on May 2018 in Michigan.
Robofest is an annual national robotics competition organized on behalf of Lawrence Technological University (LTU), Michigan, USA by NovaTech Robo Pvt Ltd in India. The students design, construct and program their robots while learning problem-solving techniques, mathematics, logic, creativity, physics, electronics, mechanics, teamwork, computers and computer programming
The students said, “Absolutely thrilled that we were able to live up to our promise. We had a lot of fun at the Robotic Competition. We thank our parents and the school for their guidance and support in achieving this. “
“It is a matter of immense pride for the school that our student has won the competition. The win is the result of the hard work, efforts, and fearless spirit of our dynamic duo. Robotics programs give students an opportunity to get acquainted with technology that is poised to bring about radical changes in many disciplines. Such competition encourages students to have fun while learning the principles of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM)”, said Mr. Naveen K M, Managing Director, Trio World Academy.
Two teams competed at a time with each other where their respective robots wrestled on a white table with the objective of knocking off the opponent robot from the table. Each one has been precisely programmed to avoid the edges to survive on the table without falling off.
Divyashree Nagarajan, Dheemanth’s mother runs a robotics teaching center called RoboNimble. She mentored the three students. She is an electronics engineer who worked in IT and started the centre last year soon after returning from the US.
Although they did not secure the championship title at the Michigan competition, the team was honoured with the prestigious “Spirit of Robofest” award. TRIO proudly congratulates these talented young students on their outstanding achievement.
