RC India

We are ecstatic to announce that SPARC Robotics, in collaboration with the Electronics Society of St. Stephen's College, Delhi University are going to host a great RC Event where people can come together and showcase their RC Skills and meet fellow fliers.

As some of you might know, RcHubIndia, under the name of SPARC Robotics has just released the very first 3D Printed frames in India.
You may have a look at the frame and the sales threads here -

To showcase our frames to the great community at RcIndia, we have organized an event at St. Stephen's College, Delhi University which will also be a great opportunity to meet several fliers across Delhi and the neighboring states.

The event has been divided into two parts -

Exhibition -
The Exhibition will showcase the process of developing the frames and how were they realized.
The Electronics Society of St. Stephen's College will showcase their achievements.

A special feature will be an introduction to 3D Printing technology and a look at the printer which started it all.

Competition -
The competition will consist of two parts -
1. Sprint - As the name signifies, the participants will sprint their copters over a long length of open track. This is a simple event which will test the acceleration and speed of the copter and does not require a lot of expertise in flying.
2. Obstacle Course - The second event will consist of a short and simple obstacle course in which the participant will have to maneuver their copter through tight spaces and complete in the shortest time possible.

Both the events will be simple but highly engaging to encourage participation from beginning fliers.

One of the event's main goals is to promote the hobby among people, and also to encourage interaction between the new and veteran fliers.
Anyone, from anywhere in India, and of any age may apply, they do not need to be a student.

If you cannot participate, you are encouraged to come anyway and meet with the fellow hobbyists and have fun.

Now for the fun part -
There is no registration fee.
Every participant will get one complete 3D Printed frame for free!
Every participant will also get certificates from the college.
The Winners will get trophies and a 3D Printed 450 frame from SPARC robotics as a prize when they are released in December.

Note : More details about the competition will be released in the subsequent days and registration links will be put up.
The venue will be St. Stephen's College in Delhi.
The event will take place in the last week of October 2015.
Participants are required to bring their own multicopters and other equipment with themselves.

FPV Gear is not required for the event.

We expect to see you there!

In Delhi? And after yesterday's incident? The event is cool but I hope you are aware of DGCA's ban on flying RC :(

This is a college event, approved by college principal.

on a serious note, our venue showcases rc models and has airshow on yearly basis as a part of DU cultural fests. Cluster Inovation Centre is approved by govt. for such showcasing and events.

Thanks for organizing the event

Had some fun after  long time ... Thanks for inviting me Robin . The event was very well organized. And I have to say that the quality of the quad I saw was good.  :thumbsup:

Here is a link for a few glimpses of the event ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCGBoE8faeQ
That's all I could capture.

Hi Robin - Have you guys started giving away the kits to the winners?

I have no news from them as yet...

What about you Nite, do you have any update?

Robin - any updates on the production of 450 size SPARC quads ?

dont know bro..didn't contacted them yet and didn't get any update. will contact them soon.

Robin -- Any update ?? ???

hi hellyflyer,
we had a discussion with most of the participants to replace the frame prices with momentos, reason being the 3D printed frames were not durable and we had to reimburse each of our buyer for the frame.
The momentos and frames cost the same to us.
That time i couldn't update you because i myself was not aware of the thing, but since the 3D printed frames service is entirely scrapped and there isn't a single frame to giveaway, i must apologise

we have given momentos and certificates to all the participants and we have given frames to all the the winners of sparc online competition already (nite, subhash jk, rcneil, shivani) for which we no longer require review
