Techkriti 2009
Posted 02-11-08 at 01:58 AM by techkriti.iitk
We proudly present to you Techkriti ’09, the annual science and technology festival of IIT Kanpur.
Techkriti ’09 essentially finds its inspiration in the success of Techkriti ’08 which played host to a lot of events, attracting students from every technological branch there is. International programming and hacking competitions and the software corner challenged the computer-addicted while those inclined towards “physical” machinery found solace in Gearloose, Endeavour and Robogames. Circuit design and Ham were other major attractions. These apart, the Bio-business plan contest, Olymbiz, Scimatex and various quizzes kept the scientifically inclined on their toes.
Apart from hosting all these events with greater zest, Techkriti ’09 also brings forth new challenges in science and Technology, challenging you to think of the most convoluted way to perform a simple task in Rube Goldberg, make working models out of utter junk in Junkyard Wars and strike a balance between safety, economy and strength in the Spaghetti Bridge Design Challenge.
So come over from 12th to 15th of February ,2009 and exercise your right to be bright.

| | Techkriti 2009Hi Friends, Have you got bored of applying equations of mechanics on paper...want to do something real!!!! Those of you ever wished to build something original by your own, here is the opportunity for all of you to design and construct. National Spaghetti Bridge Design Challenge : 'Spaghetti Bridge Design Challenge' is an event of planning and innovation.The event consists of following stages: 1)Design Stage: Proper planning and maximum capacity with minimal amount of construction material. 2)Construction Stage: Get your hands dirty and construct in the time and material constraints. 3)Testing Stage: What matter is the most is how your bridge proves itself. All bridges will be loaded and one with the maximum efficiency will be the winner. So, have a look at the problem and gear up to take part in the event. Event Link: http://www.techkriti.org/#/competiti...ibridgedesign/ Gear Loose : "Gearloose" is all about making purely mechanical gadgets(no electronic stuff in it!!). We have uploaded three interesting problems. The link for the event is http://www.techkriti.org/#/competiti...ag-gearloose/. The three problems are: * Phantom Rider - http://www.techkriti.org/#/competiti...loose-phantom/ * Self-Steering Wind Surfer- http://www.techkriti.org/#/competiti...earloose-wind/ * Mechanical Calculator- http://www.techkriti.org/#/competiti...se-calculator/ Regards, Techkriti' 09 |

Prepare to be proved wrong, as Techkriti’09 brings you the “make it as complicated as can be” contest, well, officially known as the “Rube Goldberg Challenge”. Competitions under this banner have been held all over the world and now we have it here. All you've got to do is keep the task in mind and find the most convoluted and complicated way to implement it.....Simple, eh??? To get a feel of things check out this video: http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=RouXyg...eature=related For further details, please visit our website: http://www.techkriti.org/?flush=1#/c...bergchallenge/ 2. Samaadhan (Nut Cracker) : Have your mind grown dull and rusty with the same old courses? Do your brain needs some spark? If yes then its time for you to crack some nuts. Techkriti'09 brings you its first problem of Nut Cracker series in Samaadhan (Scimetax). To view the problem please visit : http://www.techkriti.org/#/competiti...atex-samadhan/ 3. Gimmick : Design your own AI bots to rage war on the battlefield. Code a bot that can outwit all others on the battlefield. You'll be provided with a sample code for bot. All you have to do is implement a strategy for the bot and walk away with huge prizes. Please Visit : http://www.techkriti.org/#/competiti...orner-gimmick/ The problem statements for other events are also uploaded.
