At the end of training workshop contests were conducted for participating students on playing carroms using wired robots, demonstrating line following robotic skills.

As only limited number of students could be accommodated in the training workshop, participants were selected by pre-registration. Students expressed lot of enthusiasm and satisfaction in the robotics workshop. Engineers from NSS College of Engineering Alumni – Kuwait Chapter, were present throughout the 2 days of robotic workshop to assist RoboKart instructor Mr. Nithin Acharya and participants.
