The Bot Vault event is a two-round competition focused on robotics and automation. Round 1 features an online quiz to assess participants’ knowledge of robotics, automation, and sensors, shortlisting candidates for the next phase. Round 2 involves teams developing and presenting a hardware prototype based on automation and sensors during a live event on IEEE DAY. This competition promotes practical skills, innovation, and collaboration in tackling real-world challenges in robotics.

Payload Pursuit is a Capture The Flag (CTF) challenge designed with 7 exciting levels. Each level presents questions and flags related to IEEE, testing participants’ technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and teamwork. Participants will race against time to capture as many flags as possible to win the competition.

On Monday, October 7th, 2024, the IEEE of Sri Sairam Institute of Technology continued the ‘Botify Business’ competition with the much-anticipated second round, led by Vishali R and Vasanth, Event Coordinators for IEEE Day. Following the success of the first round, 15 standout teams advanced to this stage, where they faced a more technically challenging task.

In this round, participants were asked to develop chatbots based on three distinct scenarios. Each team had to leverage AI to build functional, responsive chatbots that could handle real-world situations creatively and practically. The challenge pushed teams to showcase their skills in natural language processing and prompt engineering.

From the 16 teams, 3 emerged as the winners, impressing the judges with their innovative and efficient chatbot designs. The event demonstrated a strong combination of technical expertise and ingenuity, setting a high standard for future competitions at the institute.

The RC Car Competition consists of three rounds testing design and performance skills. Round 0 is an online session covering design principles and a demo model. In Round 1, all 15 teams present their prototype RC cars for evaluation, with non-compliant teams disqualified. Round 2 features the top 10 teams racing their cars on a custom track, evaluated on speed, maneuverability, innovation, lap time, endurance, and durability.

Cipher Chase, held on October 7, 2024, as part of IEEE Day 2024 celebrations at Sri Sairam Engineering College, was a fast-paced two-round technical competition. The event challenged participants on both logical reasoning and technical coding skills, testing their ability to solve puzzles and program effectively under pressure.

A total of 25 teams participated in the event, each composed of two members. The first round was conducted via Educaplay, focusing on future and emerging technologies, while the second round was held on HackerRank, emphasizing multi-language programming.

This engaging event brings together teams of three students from different disciplines to brainstorm creative solutions to real-world challenges. After selecting their problem statements, each team will not only pitch their innovative ideas but also create a visually striking poster to showcase their concept. A fun twist comes with the bottle-flipping challenge, offering teams a chance to earn additional rewards. On top of that, teams will participate in a quiz, solving crossword puzzles at intervals throughout the event. Scoring is comprehensive, factoring in idea pitches, poster design, and quiz performance, with bonuses like design help and priority presentation slots for standout teams.

The Bid Wars event, part of IEEE Day 2024, featured two rounds designed to enhance knowledge and teamwork. Round 1 tested participants’ understanding of IPL auction strategies and IEEE topics through a quiz. In Round 2, teams engaged in competitive bidding for roles, showcasing their strategic management plans for an IEEE Society. The event emphasized collaboration, creativity, and negotiation skills, preparing participants for future challenges.
