EASWARI ENGINEERING COLLEGE

Workshop on “SPARK- Fun with Engineering” ( 1/03/2014 & 15/03/2014)

Seniors students experience with robotics were the resource persons. They were from

two different departments and have won many robotic competitions as a team.They first gave us

an introduction, covering the fundamentals of every component followed by a detailed

explanation on how to handle the various testing equipments. We then had a soldering practice

session where we were taught on the importance of doing it right. After a short lunch break we

gathered again at the lab waiting eagerly to grow our knowledge. In the afternoon session, the

most anticipated part of the workshop arrived and each of us got the opportunity to build our

very own “Sunflower Robots”.

The second session started with exuberance as we displayed our working robots with a

sense of accomplishment. An insight into the various mechanical concepts that are required to

build a successful robot without any structural failures was given. A brief introduction to the

various types of motors where terms like traction, speed and torque was explained. We were also


given a clear idea on the various criteria to be considered while building a water-based robot.

Then we assembled into groups to build our next bot. Engrossed in our work, we barely realised

the time fly by.

After the lunch break we completed our second wired robot with which we battled other

groups. This robot was purely mechanical. We mounted another circuit on it and were able to

operate it wirelessly via a Radio Frequency module.They then shared with us the different types

of robots they built along with its success stories.Since the resource people were our own seniors

we did not have any inhibitions while we asked doubts. The seniors were prompt in clearing our

dilemma about the right choice of components for the respective specifications, with problem

statements. As we solved the problem statements we were able to understand the logic to a

greater extent. It was a fun filled learning session.

The day concluded with distribution of certificates and the seniors sharing their

experience as first time teachers. We were congratulated for our efforts and also encouraged to

take part in symposiums to put to use the valuable skills we were taught in the two days. We are

grateful to the management and IEEE student branch for providing us with the opportunity to

gain firsthand experience and knowledge on robotics. The sessions brought in us a renewed

confidence to build robots and it has made us realize our passion.
