ALGOCON
"First, solve the problem. Then, write the code."
~John Johnson
SRA conducts an online coding competition with problem statements on Data Structures and Algorithms chosen to exude the contestant’s sharp thinking.The top participants are chosen on the basis of the difficulty of the problem solved, and the efficacy of their solutions.
Labyrinth
"The solution often turns out to be more beautiful than the question."
~Richard Dawkins
The Labyrinth challenge is set to test the algorithm development skills of the participants and identify and follow the shortest path in a given Black-and-white maze, and using a wheeled bot to clear the course, all the while troubleshooting the hardware complications. After the conclusion of Algocon, Labyrinth serves as the perfect challenge to showcase what the participants had learnt in the form of coding skills.
