hello
WORKSHOPS
V-2 Bot
V-2 Bot is an autonomous programmable robot designed by team VAAB. This robot is designed using AVR microcontrollers with many features.
In this workshop, the participants are introduced to the interesting and exciting topic of MICROCONTROLLERS and basics EMBEDDED SYSTEMS. The participants are given a chance to bestow artificial intelligence to the robots. This two day workshop is all about programming the robot using the MICROCONTROLLERS and their environments, which are widely used in the industries and basics of EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
The MICROCONTROLLER used in this workshop is ATmega8 and the development environment used is WinAVR .In this workshop basics of EMBEDDED 'C' language will be covered so you can make your own programs to control your robot. After this workshop the participants will be able to build robots with artificial intelligence. This workshop will be conducted for 2 days (16 Hrs), with each day divided into 2 sessions.
In this workshop, the different robots which will be built are as mentioned below:
- Line following robot
- Obstacle avoiding robot
- Dancing Robot
- Light controlled robot
and many more……………………….
along with this you will be able to interface number of I/O devices to the MICROCONTROLLER
- LEDs
- Buzzer
- switchs
- DC motors
- 16 * 2 alphanumaric LCD
The course content which will be followed for the workshop is as mentioned below:-
- Introduction Embedded systems and ROBOTICS
- Introduction to autonomous robotics (controller based)
- Advantages of controller based robots
- Basic parts of a Robot
- Mechanical System
- Power Supply System
- Actuators
- Control System
- Microcontrollers and microprocessors
- Installing and using WinAVR
- Sensors
- Hands On Session
- Mechanical assembly of the robot
- Dumping the hex file into the controller
- I/O operations
- Actuator Test
- Writing program for the different types of robots

hello
Racing Competition
After participating in many robot racing events in several collages we found that students are still using old DPDT switch based Technics to drive their robots. Some students don't even know that they are using "H-bridge" for controlling the motors. Most of them are using a wire ribbon to connect the remote to switch.very less people using wireless technique.

Soccer Competition
Soccer Competition
Olden days people watch people playing football. But today we are making robots to play football. A robotic foot ball game makes you think innovative by placing multiple challenges in front of you. Here you need to make a better kicking mechanism which sharpens your mechanical skills. Here raises the Question."How to get a good kicking mechanism?".

hello
Line Follower Competition
This is the best to begin. Because it consists of less hardware and simple sensors.
By working with this Bot one can easily get familiar with
Microcontrollers
Programming
Basic electronics and mechanics
sensors
and it is the only robot that can be made with in less budget.
