IETE REPORT

2014-2015


Tezoro’14, the 3-day national level techno-managerial fest launched on 21st of February

2014, was one of its kind. Packed with several gems of technical contests, exhibitions,

workshops and informal events, Tezoro is TKMCE's very own 'treasure chest', a collective

presentation of several exuberant technical feats. Tezoro also served as a national level technical

symposium on 'Engineering as a Service'. . In today's world, where engineering colleges are

accused of turning out less socially conscious youngsters, the theme could not have been more

appropriate. The purpose was to impact the mindsets of young engineers to contribute to social

welfare. Filled with debates, lectures and talks, Tezoro will bring up a thorough examination of

all the possibilities of using technology and managerial skills to contribute to the upliftment of

the society.

The highlight of Tezoro was the myriad of highly challenging technical events organized by the

various departments. The Department of Electronics and Communication was particularly

proficient in this regard and organized not only an array of exacting competitions, but also an

absolutely boggling exhibition. Each event that was organized under the Dept. of ECE was done

with the aim of keeping our young engineers abreast with the latest technologies and

encouraging them to implement innovative ideas. It was with this profound concept that events

were organized from every area of ECE ranging from Circuitry, Image Processing and of course

the crowd pulling Robotics.

TITAN-O-MACHY (ROBOWAR)

Titanomachy or War of the Titans was the ten years series of battles which were fought in

Thessaly between the two campus of deities long before existence of mankind.The war was fought to

decide who would become the rulers of universe. TEZORO gives you the chance to be the rulers of the

ring .So stop thinking ,ready your bots ,its a battle which is to be fought, not seen.

Titan-o-Machy, the Robowar competition which was conducted on 22nd February 2014 as a part

of Tezoro was sponsored by IETE Trivandrum and IETE Students’ Forum TKMCE. The event

witnessed active participation of over 10 dexterous teams with their skillfully crafted robots

competing for a cash prize of ₹20,000. Event was coordinated by Alfred George (Final Year

Electronics). The stringent rules of the competition restricted the size, destructive features and

safety weapons of each robot. The six teams that were selected for the competition were made to

have a game of league with each other. Out of the three teams that qualified the first round, the

team that came first gained direct entry to the final round. The other finalist was after a play off

between the other two teams. The details of the participants and winners are being enclosed

within. The fighting ring was callous in that it presented obstacles like flame and cutters and this

took the competition to a whole new level of competence. On the whole this was a competition

that demanded brilliant designing, precise craftsmanship and logical excellence in equal

measure.

Event Arena Cost : Rs 7000/-

Total Prize Money : Rs 25000/-

TREZADORE (LINE TRACER)

All MICHAEL SCHUMACHERs out there, it's time to pull up your jackets, rev up your

engines and wait for the chequered flag! Live your dream of becoming a racer.

With speed and accuracy being the game changers, all you have to do is build a mini car that

follows paths without compromising speed

MOBRAZE (DTMF CONTROLLED ROBOT RACE - FIRST TIME IN KERALA)

Build a DTMF (Mobile Phone) controlled bot capable of tracing a path of 200mm width.

The event consists of two rounds in which Top scoring teams will advance to the next level.

The bot is supposed to trace a path of 200mm width and wheels should be within the path.

Scores would be computed based on the checkpoints cleared. The event consists of two rounds.

● Prelims: In this bot should trace a simple path which may include bridges, tunnels and

moving parts. Top scoring four bots will be advanced to the finals

Finals: Teams qualifying the prelims can expect a surprise.
