Ropeway Racing

Ropeway Racing – Robotics Slackline Challenge by FLUX Technical Club FLUX proudly presents Ropeway Racing, an exciting hardware-based robotics competition where innovation meets speed and balance. In this one-of-a-kind challenge, teams will design and build robots capable of traveling smoothly across a slackline/ropeway track. Participants will compete in a structured round-robin format, and the winners will be decided based on the shortest completion time and overall performance. This event aims to strengthen students’ skills in electronics, robotic design, hardware development, while promoting creativity, teamwork, and competitive spirit. Objectives of the Event Encourage sportsmanship and healthy competition Enhance practical electronics and hardware-building skills Promote creativity and innovation in robotic design Develop problem-solving and real-time technical implementation abilities Foster teamwork and collaborative learning Registration Details Registration Opens: 13th February⏳ Registration Deadline: 18th February (11:59 PM) Register early to secure your slot in this thrilling robotics race!
