The Robocup 2010, widely known as Olympics in Robotics was held in Singapore where the ROBOIN (team members of Saveetha School of Engineering) represented India and competed in Rescue B and Dance League with 49 countries in Robocup 2010. In Rescue B, the team managed to capture the 11th position. In Dance League, the team had three Lego Platforms and one Bioloid Robot. The Lego are designed to appear like girls dancing with Bioloid and after many rounds of performances the team was finalized for the Super Team Finals among the other teams. In finals, the Indian Team reassembled all the Robots and changed the appearance of every Robot wherein the teams from other countries had very few changes in their robots. This made the referees pay more attention towards the Indian Team and the team grabbed the "WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP" title in the Dance League.
Commenting on the achievement, Dr. N.M. Veeraiyan, Chancellor, Saveetha University, "Engineering education can no longer remain theoretical. Students have to be inspired to apply what they learn in the classrooms and blossom into creators of innovative ideas and products. Students of Saveetha College of Engineering have achieved exactly the same by developing breakthrough ideas for their projects and have created the following novel products first of its kind in India. I would take this opportunity to thank ROBOIN for selecting our students and for this great achievement".
