Robotix Robotics Competition

Robotix is an annual robotics competition organized by the **Technology Robotix Society** at the **Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur**. Held as part of the institute’s techno-management fest Kshitij or as a standalone event (depending on the year), Robotix features multiple theme-based events where teams design, build, and program robots to solve tasks such as autonomous navigation, object manipulation, maze solving, and vision-based challenges. The competition is open primarily to **students**, with a strong focus on high school and university-level participants who have some interest or experience in robotics, electronics, or programming. Participants gain hands-on experience in robot design, embedded systems, algorithms, and teamwork under time and performance pressure. Beyond the competitive events, Robotix typically offers workshops, demonstrations, and mentorship from IIT students, helping participants deepen their technical skills and exposure to engineering problem-solving. For high school students, Robotix can serve as an early, rigorous introduction to robotics competitions at a university campus, strengthening their portfolios for STEM-focused college applications and providing valuable experience in design thinking and innovation.
