X will consist of our online hunt, CryptX, and eight on-site events — Design, Pitching, Quiz, Gaming, Programming, Group Discussion, Robotics, and Surprise Event. Each event will have a unique theme based around Make.
At X, we want all participants of a team to come together as a startup and Make something. All events are interconnected to each other, and add toward the final goal of creating a useful product.
Participants: 3
The Design team will have to build the actual MVP for their startup, along with its logo, website, and deck.
Two PCs loaded with everything you might need, and a connection to the internet will be provided to each team. Participants are encouraged to get their laptops, tablets, and other devices to increase productivity and test responsive designs.
Participants will be required to upload all files on the cloud at the end of the first day and will be allowed to work from their homes.
Every team will get 2 workstations with an internet connection, and loaded with the following:
Git, npm, and Node.
Sublime Text 3 & Prepros
Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, Blender, Sketchup

Participants are expected to be familiar with fundamental programming constructs such as conditional statements, functions and different types of data structures.
One PC loaded with all relevant programming software, mentioned below, will be provided to each team. Emphasis will be on paper-based strategies.
The event will require an interplay of syntax and semantics in mathematics, logic and computer science. Algorithmic thinking to create optimized solutions will be encouraged.
Every team will get 1 workstation with an internet connection, and loaded with the following:
Code::Blocks
Sublime Text
TurboC++

X has always been known for turning the traditional Quiz format on its head, and this time it’s no different. With a time-bound Preliminary round followed by a gruelling Final round, it’s an endurance challenge at its very best.

This is our first Robotics event in four years, and we're putting a spin on traditional Robotics. It consists of a classic Robot War with victory via ring-out.
Robots must not employ the use of active weapons that involve flames, electrical impulses, or entanglement devices.
A special bonus will be awarded to teams with wirelessly controlled bots.
Maximum weight: 10kg
Maximum dimensions: 30cm x 30cm x 30cm

Turning the conventional GD on its head, participants will be tested mainly on their decision-making skills under intense pressure. The knock-out prelims on Day 1 will be followed by a final round on Day 2.
The stakes are high.

For the culmination of all events, Pitching participants are required to make a deck, with the help of their design team, to pitch their product. The pitch will be followed by questions from the judges.
This event will test your creativity, spontaneity and presentation skills.
