XION 2021

XION is a National Level Technical Symposium conducted by the Robotics Club of SRM IST Vadapalani Campus every year for aspiring engineers. This is a platform where innovative minds come together and share their ideas. Due to the current situation, all events are held online. With 4 technical events and 2 non-technical events, this is an excellent opportunity to showcase and sharpen one's technical knowledge and win exciting cash prizes and. An interactive, hands-on workshop will also be conducted.

1) Bot-Thesis (Paper Presentation):-
Bot-Thesis is a robotics-based paper presentation contest. Comprising three rounds - abstract submission round, paper submission round and final presentation round, this event is a lookout for creative and interesting ideas in the field of robotics.

2)Quizzard:-
'Everyone loves a sport. And everyone loves a quiz'
Xion'21 brings 'QUIZZARD' - a quiz competition for all the talented people out there. Quiz is conducted in our official portal on 22nd and 23rd march, 2021. Two brainstorming rounds with just a few questions to test one's intelligence.

3)Litter-o-Bot:-
As a part of Xion'21, litter-o-bot, popularly known as 'bot from trash', is an event to exhibit one's creativity. A participant or a Team of 2 participants should design and prepare a model of a robot out of trash. Though the working model is not necessary, participants are encouraged to create robots for various purposes. Participants are expected to build robots for high utilities using maximum trash.

4)Protobot (Robo Designing):-
'Protobot' a.k.a Prototype of Robot is a designing/drawing competition in which artists can draw, sketch, paint or make a 3D model for their dream robot. Artists should submit their Design/Sketch along with intermediate progress of the Design/Sketch. Artists are also required to send a video of them introducing themselves holding the Design. Artists can also submit multiple designs.

5)Robo-Dock:-
Robo-Dock is a project presentation event especially for robotics based projects which bring out the prototype building skills in the students.

6)TinkerBot:-
TinkerBot is a solo contest of two rounds.The first round has simple tasks and the second round has complex tasks, related to circuit building and coding using TinkerCad.

1)Robotics 101
Building a robot using Tinkercad

This workshop is an interactive, hands-on tutorial on coding simple but intriguing robots using TinkerCad. At the end of the workshop, the participants are sure to have gained a level of ease and knowledge in programming robots.
