Imagine an alternate universe, one in which every aspect of your reality is altered. Let your mind indulge itself in the age old war of ideas between Thomas Edison and Nicola Tesla. The premise is set in a world where the inhabitants have been programmed to believe that they are the sole entities on Earth – while there exists a thriving universe beneath them, slaving day and night, to survive and maintain their individuality. Split the way you see the world, and allow imagination to create the Hive Humanity on Earth's surface– that has been trained to establish a system of taboos, that quell the desire to exist independently of the hive mind, and the Orange Society – a population of robots, that inhabits the subterranean part of earth.
Centuries and centuries of wars, truces and subdued resentment finally ignites the citizens of the Orange Society to reclaim their land, their Earth. Thus begins the Orange Revolution, the war for robotic independence. The world is about to witness the most intense battle ever fought.
Whose side are you on?
Set in this fantastic alternate reality, IIT Delhi's Technical Festival 'Tryst' returns with a bang as a perfect stage for talent, brilliance and intelligence, between the 2nd and 5th of March 2012. One of the most successful technical fests across the country, Tryst 2012 promises to be bigger and better than ever before – as it undergoes a reinvention, combining the technical fest and the entrepreneurial summit under one roof. To applaud the creations of many geniuses across centuries, Tryst 2012 will endorse the Sci-Fi theme, and pay tribute to some of the most favorite contributions in science fiction of all times.
This March, discover and embrace the Geek in you.

The Orange City can be a treacherous place for the uninitiated. Sudden lava flows, rock falls and tectonic plate movements can block roads and can create others where none existed. Each young orangutan is trained from birth to survive in such an environment by the old Master. After the Master's demise, it is now up to you to design the robot which will take up this task. Are you up to the challenge?
The orangutans were greedy and in their haste they dug deep and they dug without planning. Lost within their labyrinth they lose several of their kind in attempts to map out the entire maze of tunnels they have created. Are you up to the challenge to design for the orange city?
The Orange City is preparing for war. A small secret group of elite warriors are being trained to launch an initial attack on the surface. Do you have it in you to compete with the best? Get your creative juices flowing and design the ultimate bot to participate in a one on one battle with your opponent. We present Robowars 2012.

Electronic circuits attired with IC's, LDR's, diodes and semiconductor devices have made the "globe wrapped in palms? today. Every electronic circuit is devised to carry out a specific job or address an algorithm. Some electronic circuits however have an equivalent mechanical set up that renders the same algorithm which the circuit does and is a better alternative. So, if a technology needs to be installed in rural areas to address farmer's plights, then such a technology with hard core electronics backbone lacks acceptability and feasibility owing to lack of technical expertise required to devise such circuits and cost issues. Hence, mechanical constraints with local resource utilization turn out to be a feasible alternative

Congratulations to all, All the best!!!
See you on 3rd March 2011 (Saturday) for the presentation.
Try to contain it within 15 minutes, but if your project is big and you have done different things
explaining them is more important. The point of containing the time is that you won’t beat around
the bush. Try and make them interesting. The following are some suggestions as to how you can
frame it however they are not binding but make sure you talk about the mentioned points.
First introduce yourself and your team to everyone. Tell us about your project, you can start with
what motivated you to take up this topic or the problem that you are trying to solve. Which class of
people does your project target? Then explain your idea and how that would help. While explaining
your idea also mention the existing ways of solving the problem or contemporary technologies
(if any) that solves a similar problem and how your idea is different from them, about why your
technology is better than them. Try not to be vague and support your claims by calculations or by
siting reliable references. Tell us about the work accomplished its limitations how you can take this
forward. You can show us your prototype if you have one. Talk about the feasibility, sustainability,
scalability and estimated cost of implementing your idea (which ever applicable).
This would be followed by question answer session by the jury or audience.
Trust me people it going to be really exiting!!! Prepare well, make it interesting.
One final note, this would be an opportunity for you to meet people from different parts of the
country, interact with them, have a glimpse of what people around you are innovating. It’s a
wonderful chance to learn, give the best you can enjoy the whole process that is what is important,
win or lose doesn’t matter what matters is what you learn and how you improve yourself.
Best of Luck!!!

Mission:
The mission of the competition workshop would be to design a satellite that will fit inside a coca-cola can and will collect information for 3 hours. The information that it will collect would be dependent on its direction and location of movement during its descent after the launch of the satellite. Each satellite will have a parachute with which it will descend at a speed between 3 m/s to 7 m/s.
Each satellite will be collecting the following data:
a) Temperature
b) Directional Light Intensity
c) Voltage levels of Battery ( Housekeeping telemetry )
d) Memory Usage ( Housekeeping telemetry )
After the collection of the data with the help of sensors, it would be packaged in packets of information which will be stored in a memory for future. This firmware program will handle all of this dynamically and will store it till the end of the event.
Every team will then analyze all of their data to predict patterns in MATLAB and give a detailed flight analysis.

The purpose of Economics Is Everywhere is to encourage students to observe the
wide range of daily activities and find the hidden economics of it.
Here is a story relating to the same:
Each semester after course grades were sent out our professor used to be deluged
with phone calls and e-mail from students asking why they got the grades they did
(always below what they expected). The answer usually was that they messed up
on the final exam. A late colleague suggested a way of reducing this harassment.
He pointed out that the students' opportunity cost is low after exam week and
stays low until classes start the next semester.
To discourage students from calling, he said that he writes on the exam that no
complaints about grades will be acknowledged until the second week of the next
semester. At that time students' opportunity cost of time is higher: They have
better things to do, including attending their new classes. Only students who are
deeply bothered by what they thought was unfair grading are willing to incur
the high cost of inquiring. His suggestion has succeeded in sharply reducing the
number of inquiries our professor receives.
This online event will invite entries from participants, inspired by everyday events
or observation where any economic concept can be applied. To start the process of
thought, few sample stories will be offered (just for reference). For eg: a student
may come up with an incident where he had to make a choice. This can be related
to theory of trade off/ opportunity costs.
Huge cash prizes to be won.
1. Open for all.
2. Each participant can send at most 5 entries.
3. Last date of submission of entries: 2nd March, 2012.
4. Send the entries at: economicsclubiitd@gmail.com (Subject: Economicsiseverywhere_yourname)

SAE IIT Delhi – a collegiate chapter of SAE India – was established in 2001 with the collective effort of a group of students dedicated to following their passion for engineering. Since then it has grown to become a multi-disciplinary club with over 80 members from almost all departments of IIT Delhi. It has been at the forefront of establishing an automotive culture among students at IIT Delhi by providing them with opportunities to sharpen their engineering skills through projects, events and increased interaction among students.
Vision
To enable students to gain insight into the various aspects of engineering encompassed by automotive engineering and to facilitate their growth as professionals or researchers by the dissemination of knowledge, interaction with experts and peers, and through practical experience while working in close collaboration with research and engineering establishments.
Student Development – SAE enables students to gain practical knowledge and hands-on experience through lectures, seminars, workshops, projects and competitions. The real world management, leadership, and design skills learned through these activities cannot be equaled in the classroom.
Interdisciplinary Teamwork – SAE brings together students from various departments. Our team recognizes the benefits of working as a cross-functional team and invites all students at IIT Delhi to join the SAE team.
Flagship Projects:
Formula SAE: FSAE is an international collegiate design competition focused on the design, manufacturing, and testing of a small formula-style open-wheel racecar. Over 250 teams from around the world compete in at least one of the eight competitions which are held in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Australia, Japan and now in India too.
Mini Baja: Baja SAE consists of three regional competitions that simulate real-world engineering design projects and their related challenges. Engineering students from all over the world compete to design and build an off-road vehicle that will survive the severe punishment of rough terrain and sometimes even water.
Events:
Lecture Series: There is a lot of amateur interest in the field of automobiles among young engineers. To protect and guide that interest in the right direction, a series of lectures by eminent personalities in the field has been planned. The speakers will include Professors from IITs and other reputable institutions, experienced personalities from the automobile industry and alumni from the SAE club itself.
Workshops: Seeing the interest of the people from past experience, a series of workshops on Computer Aided Designing (CAD) will be conducted. These will include separate sessions on software like SolidWorks, Ansys etc. which will be repeated in every semester. These workshops would also encourage people towards joining technical clubs.
Industrial Trips: To give a detailed idea of how an automobile is made actually, industrial trips to nearby industries like Maruti, Honda etc. will be organized at a nominal price to the participants.
Exhibitions at Fests: The cars made by the both the teams - FSAE and Mini Baja – are displayed at fests like Rendezvous and Tryst. Again, the aim is to increase awareness and attract more and more people towards the club.

Electronic circuits attired with IC's, LDR's, diodes and semiconductor devices have made the "globe wrapped in palms? today. Every electronic circuit is devised to carry out a specific job or address an algorithm. Some electronic circuits however have an equivalent mechanical set up that renders the same algorithm which the circuit does and is a better alternative. So, if a technology needs to be installed in rural areas to address farmer's plights, then such a technology with hard core electronics backbone lacks acceptability and feasibility owing to lack of technical expertise required to devise such circuits and cost issues. Hence, mechanical constraints with local resource utilization turn out to be a feasible alternative
To devise alternative mechanical set ups with constraints solving the same algorithm which a modern day electronic circuit would solve. So, you could try devising alternative mechanical set ups to timers, transmitters, light activation switches or even the changers running Diwali lights in a particular fashion. The mechanical set up so devised should fetch "locally manufactured" ability and an appreciable life expectancy.
The shortlisted proposals display working models/simulations addressing algorithms which a pure electronic circuit would perform along with a short presentation.
The following points should be included and clearly highlighted in the presentation:-
1) Algorithm that the proposed mechanical set up is capable of performing (function that it performs) and the existing circuit that renders this algorithm.
2) Description of concepts, theories or approach involved in
The proposed set up
3) Technical aspects of the proposed set up
Rough technical specifications
Process lay out using helping diagrams
Performance estimate of the proposed set up
Pros and cons
4) Any other solution specific information/unique feature
The event will be judged on the basis of EQUALLY WEIGHED
Criteria rendered below:-
Innovation/freshness
Practical implement ability
Cost benefits
Production with less technical expertise/capital requirements
Feasibility
Nobility
Acceptability and user friendliness (simplicity)
1) Competition open to students of all trades, research fellows, scholars
2) Maximum team strength of 4 allowed
3) No grievances regarding abstract submission entertained
4) Judge's decision final and binding under all circumstances

A) For the sellers:
1) Every seller will be given 6 different products, each carrying base price and he has to sell all the products.
2) They will have to determine prices at which they will offer the products in the market.
3) Interact with the buyers and sell the products in the market at maximum profit margin.
B) For the buyers :
1) Every buyer will have to buy compulsorily 6 and only 6 products from the market place (each carrying a base price). The buyer will be given some virtual money initially.
2) They will have to try and procure the products from the market by spending minimum money.
1. No. of participant : 2 (One buyer, One seller)
2. The teams will be tested on the basis of their negotiation skills, dialogue making ability and the amount money they have in their hands at the end of stipulated time.
3. Time given to interact in the market would be 20 minutes.
4. The buyer and sellers of the same team are allowed to interact with each other.
