We are indeed proud to host the seventh international Robocon at MIT Pune. We at MIT believe that education must aim at multi- facet development of a human being. Hence education must aim at the intellectual, physical, spiritual and ethical development that ensures a 360-degree development. We encourage and endorse the ABU Robocon Contest, which aims at enhancing Strategic thinking, Leadership, Knowledge, skills and the ability to work with others in a team.
This is a unique platform whereby engineering students from diverse socio-cultural background come together in an inter-national competition comprising varied operations of Robots created by them, aimed at showcasing diverse talents and dynamic vibrancy of youth. This stretches the potential of students by stimulating them mentally.
Pune is a city for the youth and the educational hub of India. MIT is one of the leading engineering college whereby the Institute is committed to generating, disseminating, and preserving knowledge, and working with others to bring this knowledge to bear on the world's great challenges.
We welcome all participants from the Asia Pacific Countries to participate in the
ABU Robocon 2008 contest and partake in the development of ground breaking new technologies worldwide.
