About XION 2K25
XION is SRM Institute of Science & Technology’s annual national-level tech extravaganza, held every March at the Vadapalani campus. It brings together top-tier student innovators from across India to compete in a spectrum of robotics and automation challenges.
This year, XION 2K25 took place on March 24–25, 2025, featuring an impressive line-up of robotic contests with total prize pools exceeding ₹40,000.
Meet the Champions
Our dynamic team comprised five bright engineering minds:
- Yuvanesh Balaji M
- Yagatheepan
- Shivahari S
- Keerthana
- Harini
Together, they embodied perseverance, creativity, and synergy under the banner of hands-on engineering excellence.
Competitions Conquered
The team competed in three high-intensity events:
- Robo Sumo: Robots battled in close-quarter pushing matches.
- Robo Soccer: A strategic, football-inspired robot face-off.
- Robo Race: Speed-focused navigation through dynamic courses.
Each discipline tested a unique blend of mechanical ingenuity, sensor integration, and smart programming.
Glorious Wins & Prize
With remarkable consistency and technical flair, the team clinched First Prize in all three events—Robo Sumo, Robo Soccer, and Robo Race—bringing home a total of ₹5,000 in cash rewards.
This triumph not only enriched their trophy case but also highlighted their well-rounded skills in multidisciplinary robotics fields.
Behind the Victory
Key strengths that fueled their success:
- Collaborative engineering: Working together to meld design, coding, and assembly.
- Strategic planning: Designing modular robots tailored for each event’s demands.
- Iterative testing: Quickly refining prototypes based on real-time feedback.
Their commitment reflected a strategic blend of theory and applied engineering under pressure.
Why This Matters
