Existence of competition still boils the blood when served with the principle of divide and rule. With the advancement in technology, the ways of warfare have changed accordingly from stones and swords to ammunition while the avidity of humans to conquer the throne is still the same. Come, witness and get an experience of the clash between the advanced technological automated robots prevailing over their foes for prestige in battle field of Techfest 2014 in the month of January under the dome of competitions.
