REVOBOT
The workshop addresses various concepts related to engineering principles and real life applications and the integration of different components. Students will be engaged in designing and building a robot using Revobot educational kit, starting from simple and leading to complex robotics. Ultimately, these workshop will challenge the way students view Robotics Technology and what they can do with it. As an emerging market, India’s technology industry needs innovation and technologists with the vision to apply fields such as Computer Science, Electronics to the wide variety of problems relevant to a growing economy. The workshop will run for two days of 16 extensive hours covering from the basics of electronics to advanced robotic concepts as listed below:

Online Examination:
· For the very first time in India, Robhatah is organizing an online examination for
all engineering students, Robotic enthusiasts etc.
· The exam is a CAT (Computer Adaptive Test) similar in format to the GRE.
· Based on their performance, all the examinees are awarded certificates of
excellence by the governing body of Robhatah. The certification is a highly
esteemed one considering the professionals associated with Robhatah.
· The examination is conducted on a registration fee of Rs.1000 per student.
· However, each participant undergoing Robhatah's workshop will be awarded a
Test Key with which they can take up the exam for free within 1 month from the
date of workshop.
