Silicon Tech Fest

The Silicon Tech Fest "Noesis" is just over. I was really busy regarding Paper Presentation and Robotics. Managing these two events at a time was really difficult for me as both of these are regarded as the most important events in any techfest.
In robotics, we had completed the bot two days before the event. But after completion, we realised that the heart of the bot i.e the base was broken. The whole labour we spent for the base of the bot for at least two months just diffused out on seeing the broken base. We had lost all hopes of participating in robotics event. After the moment of shock we realised that we must do something to at least make it possible to paticipate in the event. Of course this event must not be missed at any cost as it was our debut event and the very next tech fest was that of IIT Kharagpur. So we had to spend two sleepless nights to remake the base. At last we could manage something out and make the bot at least eligible to participate. The D-Day came and we managed to get 30 points before getting stuck in the sand trap. Though I can't say that we were successful but I can say that the event gave a great deal of knowledge and ideas regarding furthur improvement of our bot.
The paper presentation sessions were also a great help to me as I got several tips regarding right body language and the style of presenting a paper. Overall it was a good one and went smoothly even though this was my debut.
The most important benefit I got from this event was that I found several new friends and also some of my old school buddies with whom I couldn't contact after school days...
