THE ROBOTRONICS CLUB / 2014–2026
We began with 12 students in Ahmedabad. Since then, our students have represented India at robotics competitions around the world.
The Robotronics Club began in Ahmedabad with 12 students who wanted to learn robotics. They started building, coding and solving problems together. The following year, all 12 would take part in their first WRO season.
All 12 founding students entered WRO. Two teams of three qualified to represent India in Doha, winning gold and silver at the International Final. Their results marked India’s first WRO podium finishes and encouraged more Ahmedabad students to explore robotics.
Three Elementary teams, made up of nine students, represented India at the WRO International Final. Two of the teams placed sixth and seventh, following the club’s gold and silver results in Doha the previous year.
A team of 10 students won the FIRST LEGO League National Championship and represented India at the international competition in the Philippines. Their project, Trash to Treasure, received the Inspire Award at the event.
The club entered FIRST Tech Challenge, adding a new competition to its WRO and FIRST LEGO League experience. Its team represented India at an international event in Maryland, USA, and received the Best Robot Design Award.
Two club teams represented India at the WRO International Final in Costa Rica: one in Elementary and one in Junior High. Students from both age groups took their robots to compete alongside teams from other countries.
The club’s FIRST Tech Challenge team represented India in the United States. Two WRO teams also won national championships that year and went on to represent India at the WRO International Final in Hungary.
The club’s FIRST Tech Challenge team competed in Pune and received two awards: the Rockwell Collins Innovation Award and the Teamwork Award. These recognised both the team’s technical ideas and how its members worked together.
Robotronics Club student Aaman Shah joined Team India for FIRST Global’s online 2020 season. He worked remotely with students from across the country during the pandemic. His participation is documented in FIRST Global’s official Team India profile.
The club continued teaching online during the pandemic. Students stayed connected with their mentors and took part in WRO online competitions, continuing their robotics learning while in-person classes and travel were interrupted by COVID.
A club team represented India at the WRO International Final in Turkey. After the years of online learning and competition, students were back at an international WRO event, competing in person with teams from around the world.
Aarna Shah and Kyra Bansal, competing as Command Z, won gold in the Elementary category at WRO Asia Pacific in the Philippines. The same two students would go on to compete in Junior High in 2026.
Team Greenbotics won the national championship in WRO’s Future Engineers category. The result earned the team a place at the International Final in Singapore, where it represented India in the autonomous robotics competition.
Aarna Shah and Kyra Bansal, competing as Command Z in Junior High, secured first place at the WRO National Championships. The result qualified the team to represent India at the 2026 International Final in Puerto Rico.
