National RoboSPRINT 2012 By Umer Farooq (PRESIDENT CRG CASE ROBOTICS GROUP)

The name ROBOSPRINT is attributed to an annual robotics competition held by Center for Advanced Studies in Engineering (CASE) to promote passion for the field of robotics in its undergraduate students. ROBOSPRINT was initiated at a local level by CASE Robotics Group (CRG) - the undergraduate robotics research group of CASE, in 2009. Though CRG has enjoyed great success in the recent past by the grace of Almighty Allah yet it has not blinded us of the fact that our competitors (from all over Pakistan) have lacked basic skills in this particular field. ROBOSPRINT is not just a nationwide competition but a comprehensive plan to promote robotics by educating youth of Pakistan. Our plan will be thoroughly discussed in the following text describing our vision of ROBOSPRINT in the future and our motive of spreading robotics across country. RoboSprint 2012 extends an extraordinary chance of learning robotics to all the university students of Pakistan. This year, CASE launches a novel idea in the field of Pakistani education, a National Student Coordination Program (NSCP). The new concept transforms RoboSprint 2012 from merely a robotics competition into a fullfledge national educational campaign. We will ensure that every Pakistani student without any discrimination will have access to the technological skills of the new era. All the participating teams can gain from the expertise of CASE Robotics Group (CRG) by NSCP & Special Robotics Seminars developed exclusively by the Organizing Committee of RoboSprint 2012. We on behalf of CASE & CRG wish the very best of luck to all who wish to be a part of this exciting experience. Currently, RoboSPRINT team has visited many universities in Islamabad, Lahore, Mianwali, Taxila, Karachi. Students are the true strength of Pakistan. We have a strong motive to spread the wind of Robotics throughout Pakistan with the experience we have to flourish Pakistan in the field of Robotics. More than 60 teams have registered for the event.
