Robotix started in 2001 as an in-house event for the students of IIT Kharagpur.

Kunal Sinha, Saurabh Prasad, and Varun Rai created the event for IDEON,[expand acronym] the school's techno-management festival.

Robotix celebrated its tenth edition in 2010 with an array of challenging problem statements.

Robotix 2011 conducted a water surface event, R.A.F.T., in which over 250 teams participated.

In the manual events, the participants handle the robot by using a remote control.

In the autonomous events, the robots act independently; participants are not allowed to control them during their run.

In the solo runs, the robot team performs the tasks without other competitors in the field; they are evaluated on marking criteria such as time elapsed, goal completion, and efficiency.
