Competition code under fixed deadlines. Encoder drift, surface differences and timing errors can turn a working autonomous routine into a missed objective, so the code has to survive the field.

Mentoring

With Team G-Force, I mentored 12 students from SSRVM’s Dharavi Dynamites in coding, fabrication and judging presentations. We raised the rupee equivalent of about USD 8,500 for their season. They finished 15th nationally.

My part: Coding and presentation coaching for Dharavi Dynamites. Helped train two FIRST LEGO League teams for their 2024 national competitions.
