RC Car Racing

🏆 prize pool – 2 lakhs

Both autonomous and manually controlled RC (radio-controlled) cars will compete on a challenging track, testing their speed, precision, and adaptability. Autonomous cars rely on advanced sensors, algorithms, and AI to navigate the course, making real-time decisions to avoid obstacles and maintain optimal speed. In contrast, manually controlled RC cars depend on the skills and reflexes of their operators, who must carefully steer through sharp turns and straightaways. The competition highlights the balance between human control and machine intelligence, with victory awarded to the car that completes the track in the shortest time while maintaining precision and control.
