The Three Core Verticals of Training
The curriculum is optimized into focused vertical sprints, building foundational skills before advanced applications.
Electronics
Krishna
Focuses on control systems, hardware interfacing (Arduino/ESP32), and PID logic for precise robot movement.
Software
Aryan Vivek Rishik
A deep dive into Python (Pandas/NumPy/OpenCV), C++ algorithms (A*/Dijkstra), Linux systems, and ROS integration.
Mechanical
Parthiv
Covers 3D design in Fusion 360, system integration using URDF, and model verification via advanced simulation.
17-Session Training Schedule (Nov - Jan 2026)
This section details the 17 training sessions (including Phase 0 setup) over the 62-day Training Phase. Sessions occur every 4 days, followed by a mandatory 1-week assignment.
Training Sprint Structure
Electronics Sprint (Dec 1-16)
4 sessions by Krishna - Immediate hands-on hardware engagement
Software Foundation (Dec 17 - Jan 5)
4 sessions by Aryan — Python Core → NumPy/Pandas → OpenCV → Mini CV Project
Mechanical Sprint (Jan 6-17)
3 sessions by Parthiv - CAD → URDF → Simulation chain
Advanced Software (Jan 18-29)
4 sessions by Rishik & Vivek - Linux → Algorithms → ROS
Full Program Timeline (Nov 2025 - Mar 2026)
The program is structured into four sequential phases, from mandatory setup to final project execution.
Evaluation & Accountability
Performance is measured across four criteria, culminating in a critical restructuring checkpoint at the end of the Training Phase.
Leaderboard Weighting
The final ranking is determined by a four-part score, emphasizing both commitment and technical proficiency.
Task Completion & Accountability
Submission and completion of tasks is mandatory. Missing assignments below a certain threshold will lead to serious consequences, including exclusion from the Workshop Phase and Mini-Project assignments. Consistent participation is essential for progression through the program.
Mini-Project Participation
Each DC will be assigned to work on one mini-project during the Mini-Project Phase, where they will receive a central kit to experiment and implement their learnings. For the other two projects, DCs are encouraged to watch and learn from their peers, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
Session Structure
Live sessions (for brief theory and doubts) are conducted every 4 days. Each session is immediately followed by a mandatory task and assignment with a strict 1-week deadline.
