The Three Core Verticals of Training
The curriculum is rigorous, balancing foundational components with advanced tools like Google Media Pipe and Coppelia Sim for deep, real-world application.
Electronics
Focuses on control systems, hardware interfacing (Arduino/ESP32), and PID logic for precise robot movement.
Software
A deep dive into Python (Pandas/NumPy/OpenCV), C++ algorithms (A*/Dijkstra), and AI models (Media Pipe).
Mechanical
Covers 3D design in Fusion 360, system integration using URDF, and model verification via advanced simulation.
15-Session Training Schedule (Dec 2025 - Jan 2026)
This section details the 15 training sessions over the 62-day Training Phase (Phase I). Sessions occur every 4 days, followed by a mandatory 1-week assignment. Coordinators lead 2-3 sessions each.
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.
Team Restructuring Policy
Following the Training Phase (Jan 31, 2026), a team restructuring will occur. Individuals who persistently miss tasks and assignments may be let go, affecting up to 33% of the team.
Project Role Determination
The Leaderboard ranking as of February 28, 2026 (end of Workshop Phase), will determine the weightage, roles, and responsibilities DCs receive during the subsequent Mini-Project Phase (March 2026).
Session Structure
Live sessions are conducted every 4 days. Each session is immediately followed by a mandatory task and assignment with a strict 1-week deadline.
