Himalayan Conquest!
As Shaastra 2011 approaches, no stone is being left unturned to get the buzz going. Last week, to this end, Team Shaastra conducted the largest internal publicity stunt at Himalaya, in the last 5 years!
The CFI Team showcased its past projects at the event. Set up for display were the aero-modelling projects of yesteryears – Want To Fly (WTF) 1 & 2, the all-terrain robot that won last year’s DRDO contest, and the car made by our FSAE Team. The famous Batmobile of Shaastra 2010 fame, was also set into motion.
The expo also featured a Gamer’s Inn. The aim of this setup was to let students enjoy tech, without involving them in the complexities of building them. Junta gathered to take turns playing Maze Mania, where the objective was to get the ball from the starting point to the end without letting it fall into trap-holes. Another game called Soccer War involved players controlling bots, competing to get possession of the ball and score a goal.
If the enthusiasm levels at the event, are any indication, one can assume that they'll hit fever pitch, as September ends!
