Multirotor | IIT Kanpur is a competitive drone-flying and engineering challenge hosted by Techkriti, the annual science and technology festival of the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. Techkriti is one of India's largest student-run technical festivals, drawing participants from engineering colleges and universities across the country, and its robotics and aerial competitions are among its flagship events.
What it is
Multirotor is a two-round, custom-built drone competition. Teams design, build, and fly their own multirotor aircraft through a series of precision flight challenges. The event tests hardware engineering, control tuning, piloting skill, and — in the second round — onboard computer vision and payload delivery.
Who it's for
Engineering students and hardware builders with an interest in drones, robotics, embedded systems, and autonomous flight. Teams of 2 to 6 members may register, and participants from different colleges are permitted to form a single team.
