The Valedictory function was held in presence of Prof. Dr VD

Nirma University, VJTI and MIT COE entered the semi finals. The most crucial
match was between last year's finalists MIT and COEP which was won by
MIT.
In the Semi Finals three time champions MIT (58 points)
defeated KJ Somaiya Institute Mumbai (27 points) while in the second semi
finals Nirma University (59) defeated VJTI (13). But it was a power packed and
swift performance by Nirma University in the finals that saw them through with
59 points defeating MIT who scored 27 points.
Prof . Dr VD Karad said that only two teams in 2002 to 107
teams in 2018 is a big achievement and we thank the Asia Pacific Broadcasting
Union for taking the lead. Robocon has given us a good platform . Students will
have an opportunity to go to any sector of choice, and while doing so knowledge
of robotics will have additional weightage . With creative minds and
ideas and with proper techniques hitting the target is a wonderful way of
learning. As youngster of India who are the makers of India.
