me along with arjun , avadi arun vijay & hari sudhan presented this bot at SHASTRA-2006,IIT-Madras. There were about 180+ teams in this event alone( STAIR CASE CLIMBER) . The bot had to climb 10 steps.. each team was given 3 trials. In the first trial our bot didnt even climb a step.. avadi arun was the one who was handling the wired control.. then we had to work a lot before our second trial. we wanted more power and so we coupled up two batteries (rechargeable ,big ones)placed them before the motor so that the motor can push the weight of the battery also.. so we did a lot of moderations.. we went for our second trial. To our atmost surprise the bot started to climbed and a bit faster.. but at the fourth step avadi arun let the wire loose and it got tangled between the left wheels.. again we’d to forfeit.. before the 3rd trial we made sure everything was fine. There in the 3rd trial the bot successfully reached 10 steps in 2 min & 32 secs .. the bot which won the first place took only 14 secs to reach 10 steps.. Out of 180+ teams only about 30-35 precisely were able to complete. we were one in them. A maiden, successful attempt…
This is the clip of our bot in the 3rd trial..
