A Robotic Hackathon is a 12 hour sprint where teams design, build, and program a physical robot to solve a specific challenge.
The Essentials
The Goal: Build a working prototype that can move, sense its environment, and complete a task (like navigating a maze or picking up objects). The Mix: It combines Mechanical Engineering (building the body), Electronics (wiring sensors and motors), and Software (coding the logic). The Tools: Participants typically use microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi), 3D printers, and coding languages like Python or C++. The Outcome: The event ends with a live demonstration or "arena battle" where robots are judged on performance, creativity, and technical execution.
In short: It’s a fast-paced "build-a-thon" that turns an abstract idea into a functioning machine in a single weekend.
Schedule will be updated soon.
