Human Animal Relationship


The competition is wholly and solely based on the criteria of Human and Animal Relationship. The focus is to find such progress in which the animal gets all the benefits without any material interference of humans in their natural habitat. The robot operated by the team will take care of the working mechanism which will further help the animals to grow well and nurture in their areas. The project aims at building better and mutual understanding between the two. The human efforts to counter different problems faced by the variety of animals are the biggest challenge for the team. 

Successive role of the School

The Hallmark Public School focuses on Intellectual, spiritual, emotional and aesthetic development of every student. It provides wonderful opportunity to the students in the field of art, culture, dance, acting, public speaking, social interaction, quizzing, environment awareness and scientific relevance. The school is a prestigious temple in Panchkula and the mission of the school is to see each student of Hallmark develop their own potential to contribute to the welfare of mankind. School has given a golden chance to the team NALAYAK and the team also feels grateful to the school and its constant encouragement has kept the team enlivened.

Learning and Principles



The competition is based on the three principle theory which is essential for the team to win the ultimate challenge in the field. Those beliefs are building core values between the team members and the teams respectively, project design which includes innovation, ideas, efforts, techniques and model construction and last but not the least is Robot designing which again talks about the importance of artificial intelligence and its value in the present world. These three are the key features which aim to select the best team in the competition. If the team has these three qualities; undoubtedly the winning is inevitable.

What is with the bees?

The team NALAYAK is not limiting its imagination of intelligence to the project theme only. They have been working on another rising problem which is mounting extinction of bees in the world. The team explained the various means through which the problem can be curbed in its natural haitat without causing any further damage to the environment. They highlighted an economical solution to the problem and emphasied on ‘BEES – VITAL IMPORTANCE IN THE NATURE.’ Their ultimate aim is to save and protect the bees from getting extinct forever and are working extensively on the same.

Driven by the Prime Force; SCHOOL

The Hallmark Public School has laid its major attention on the team and invested all resources in order to fulfil the requirements of the project.

Know Their Robot



The Robot game is not lucid as it seems. There is months of preparations and dedication involved and of course most of the time is dedicated in making of a Chassis. Chassis is the base which will decide the fortune of the team. Every team plan and build it with the help of design and mechanical assistance of their team members and further programming is done to carry forward the game.

The NALAYAKS chassis is a wonder box and they are proud of it. They have put in their best efforts to create a chassis which has many scandalizing features. It is something where your trust lies in. The NALAYAKS chassis has 3 colour sensors which instantly take commands and follow it up during the game, they have designed racks which are meant to complete the tasks, they have build various cages of different sizes which can be quickly fit in or get attached to the chassis in a few seconds; saving their precious time and making them score more.

The Gear Job

Gears are something which can make you perplexed as well as put you in a dilemma at the same time. One has to be very careful while using them. The NALAYAKS have used many different Gears in their Chassis and they are very confident about their unique qualities. The kind of gears chosen is Bevel gears, Tooth gears, crown gears, Pinion and Dog gears. One very important thing to be kept in mind while attaching them with chassis is the gap or the distance required between the gears, their sizes and suitability. Gears monitors and works as driving mechanism to the chassis. Pankhuri the project head of the team said, “Dog gears are my personal favourite because of its clutch mechanism that helps in quicker attachment between the cages and the chassis.” Pinions are basically driving gears, they speed up the chassis and crown gears are powerful, rough and tough, they are also called knob gears. Streamlined use of hear suitability is again important. The team thus is applying different mechanism to tackle various challenges and overcoming complexities of the game.

Distinctiveness of their Rob

Not many are good at taking risks but when it comes to The NALAYAK, they are up for turning any stone in every possible way! They have used Gyro sensors which have not been used by any of the team presently in the competition. They are also known as angular velocity sensors. They are sharp and sensitive in nature. It work as a magnet or compass in the chassis. It is a product of future electronics. They are many types of gyro sensors, it is very important that you pick the most suitable one for your chassis. There qualities are that they are angle sensing and works as control mechanisms for the chassis. The team gives Kunal every bit of praise since he is the programmer and has done great research in knowing it.

Create and Ideate


Designing and Programming are two imperative words which hold an essential significance in the Robot game. Designing helps in creating the structure of the Robot and programming helps in directing it. These two moves parallel to each other. They are of great strategic significance. There are different mechanisms which are used to run the Robot and some analyses is done to accomplish the mission. Not only this, one has to keep vigilance over the rival teams because their strategies will affect the score in the final game. The Robot game requires active research. A lot of parallel planning is done before creating the final structure of the chassis.  Chassis or a Robot box is the most important device on which the game is relied upon.

Chasing an apt Chassis

It usually takes months to build a chassis because all the tasks are supposed to be performed by it. The “Chassis or the Robot is our strength in the game; our months of hard work and practices will portray our efforts by it. It is the key to success. It is a golden device which will help us win the game.” said by the captain of the team. Captain Jatin has been working on the project since a good time now and has full-fledged knowledge about its operations.

Chassis made by The NALAYAKS has color sensors which in itself is a superb innovation. “The size and type of the wheels used, distances between the gears, angle and weight of the Robot, kind of motors to fit in and choosing the right tracks and cages is what makes a chassis a perfect Robot.” said the head programmer of the team. He has done an intensive research on Robot development and is known as an apt consultant in the team. The game is majorly dependent on how you build your robot and its essential features, nature of devices and of course the technical skills applied while developing it.

If you have a technical clarity of the subject then in no time you shall meet excellence in it. True said The NALAYAKS have expanded their comfort zones and build a rare challenge for rest of the teams.  In one of the rounds they place their robot in at upside-down position which can fetch extra points to them. They find it a pioneering strategy for the team which proves the hard-hitting feature of the Robot. “We have worked upon different attachments and structure making of the Robot and have taken care of its delicacy by drawing a lot of information and learning from different websites.” said by Pankhuri, the project head of the team.

“We celebrate diversities through these kind of competitions, it is a perfect platform for children to grow and nurture as natural leaders.” said by the Principal and mentor of the team, Miss Kavita.

Interestingly the students have put it in a right way that perspective does matter and perhaps it is an essential part of mankind and its history. The title is appropriate in the sense it is viewing all the aspects of a situation and finding the best solution to overcome different challenges. The name has showered an impressive attitude of the team.
