   This is an invitation for SURVIVOR - The International Challenge, a part   
   of TECHFEST 2005.   
      
   Techfest is the science and technology festival of Indian Institute of   
   Technology, Bombay. The annual fest held in January has the clear-cut   
   distinction of being the largest fest of its kind in the entirety of Asia.   
   Having gone international from 2004, it now strives to be reckoned among   
   the best in the world.   
   Techfest invites participants from all over the world to compete in   
   SURVIVOR, an ultimate robotics competition.   
      
   The problem statement involves making a robot which goes up an incline to   
   a platform 1 meter high. The machine then has to jump down from the   
   platform and play a strategy game based on points. Then the machine has to   
   complete an autonomous stage involving some line following.   
      
   All this is not without any rewards.   
   -       USD 2500 as prize money for SURVIVOR.   
   -       Return airfare for two members of few select teams from outside   
   India who qualify for the event.
