Important FAQs

Discovery Day is a hands-on paper robotics workshop conducted at your school. If a school organizes only Discovery Day, the fee is ₹350 per student (inclusive of GST) and includes an official certificate plus a takeaway character bot kit (Petalo, Quacky, Tiko, or Tolly).
Fee Deduction Guarantee: If students who participated in Discovery Day (₹350) register their 2-member team for Phase 2 National Competition, the ₹350 Discovery Day fee will be directly deducted / reduced from the team competition fee!
No mandatory online classes on Phase 2! Because core bot assembly, paper engineering mechanics, and circuit wiring are directly scheduled and taught hands-on during Discovery Day itself, teams are already prepared to build their world models independently with mentor guidance.
Yes! All 4 characters (Petalo, Quacky, Tiko, and Tolly) are completely suitable for all 3 themes (Creator’s Planet, Adventure Quest World, and Roboverse Academy). Teams can choose whichever character bot mechanism best fits their community solution.
