KRAFTWAGEN
(EXTERNAL)-Techtatva
Date:November 2019
Kraftwagen is an outdoor event at Techtatva and its participants would have to build their own bot which would be tested on a variety of hard terrains ranging from hanging bridges ,uneven rocks and even underwater.
This event stretches to a span of 2days. Day1 begins at the automobile workshop where participants build their own bot by shaping, cutting and smoothing the edges of a chasis from an aluminium sheet and several motors, wires are connected to this chasis to build a ground breaking bot capable of multi-terrain locomotion.
Day 2 brings these bots to live ,where all participants control their bot on the harsh terrains in a time bound environment. The participant with the fastest timing wins the grand total from a pool of 12000. The whole experience is electric and also serves an educational purpose to its participants by providing hands on experience.
AUTOWEEK
