This year's

Theme

The theme of Robocon 2016 was held in Bangkok, Thailand. the Theme ‘Chai-Yo: Clean Energy Recharging the World’ and the problem statement was to manufacture two robots named as ‘Eco robot’ and ‘Hybrid robot’. Eco robot should have only one actuator to steer itself and driving force of Eco robot should be obtained indirectly from Hybrid robot. Eco robot should run through the arena (as shown in Figure 1) and reach Wind Turbine Station where the Hybrid robot should pick up the propeller and climb a pole to place the propeller on top. The robots must follow a stringent set of rules regarding the dimensions, weight and other aspects. The team made a remarkable performance in national leg competition and stood 11th among total of 105 teams.
