Phoenix got the opportunity to conduct a workshop, ROBOVERSE, an annual workshop on manual and autonomous robots on 1st March 2020. This workshop is annually conducted by our society with an emphasis on basic knowledge of manual and autonomous. The workshop emphasized basic knowledge of manual and autonomous robots which is
beneficial for the students familiar with the concepts of controlling and designing robots. Also, a basic idea of microcontrollers (Arduino UNO) and embedded C was be provided, the project exhibition was also a part of the event.

In the first session of this workshop, we mainly focused on building Manual Bots and its working. The second session was based on the concepts of Arduino Uno and also coding in embedded C. Also, in the second session, we organized a project exhibition which was basically an assembly line of the projects that we made with the components used during the making of the project. This project exhibition was aimed so that the students may show a greater interest in the field of Electronics and communication. The workshop witnessed ample participation form first-year students and they participated in the workshop with all zeal and enthusiasm

Selected Candidates

Total of 13 students were selected from ECE & EI.

Recruitment drive was conducted on 23rd February, 2017 by TEAM PHOENIX.

The recruitment process marked its beginning with a written round, where the personality, technical and aptitude skills of various students of ECE and EI branches were tested.

A total of 200 aspirants had enrolled themselves for the written round. This written test was conducted in the strict vigilance of the coordinators of TEAM PHOENIX.

The deserving students, 23 in number qualified for the final round which was the personal interview round. Each student who qualified for the interview round was interviewed by a panel of seven final year coordinators of TEAM PHOENIX. The panel comprised of the following members.

After thorough discussion of the panel a balanced team of 12 students were recruited in the society as 1st year volunteers.

*PROJECTS BASED ON CONCEPTS OF ELECTRONICS ARE TO BE CARRIED OUT BY THE STUDENTS OF PHOENIX SOCIETY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

This was an optional round for those students who wished to take a head start. All they needed to do was message a technical article they like to the official page of Phoenix on Facebook and accordingly, their articles were posted. The top TWO articles with maximum likes got a point advantage.

This was a pen-paper cum visual round. A 20-marks question paper was set, that included 10 questions on logos of popular technical companies and 10 questions based on taglines of popular electronic brands, each question carried 1 mark.

The second part of this round involved a video based on emerging technologies shown to the participants, such as 5G technology, Internet of Things, etc., followed by a couple of questions based on the same, each had a weight age of 5 marks.

Based on the pre-round and the above stated round, 15 teams having the maximum marks in minimum time were shortlisted for the final round.

This round helped the students exercise their brains in finding the appropriate and the most suitable article. This made them go through a variety of new technologies. The paper round tested and enhanced their knowledge about popular companies.

The teams eligible for this round were given a riddle. The solution of the riddle gave the name of a place in the college, for example BB Shed, Canteen, etc. The teams needed to solve the riddle and get to the place. Once they reached the given spot, they were given a sealed envelope. They brought it back to the starting point, without tampering the seal. The catch was such that three teams were supposed to reach one spot, the team reaching first progressed. So, this was a race against time as well as other teams.

Once the team reached the starting point, the seal of the envelope was opened. There was another riddle that gave the name of a famous scientist. The team doing both the jobs, bringing back the envelope and deciphering the name of the scientist, in the minimum amount of time secured maximum points.

This was followed by a rapid fire quiz having questions from domains like communication, space, embedded etc. The cumulative points of all these parts decided the winner. In case of a tie, another tie-breaker buzzer round was supposed to be conducted but no such situation arose.

After a couple of fun-filled days, the following students took the honours:
