The workshop carried on with detailed theory on history, variant tasks, disciplines and key components in making and developing a bot. The students took interest when the professor began explaining the ways of developing an application to install in an android operating system to control the bot. They even took a keen interest when they began programming into the Arduino. Once the theory was ended the students began practically implementing the source code into the bot. students were divided into 10 groups consisting of 7 students each to work together and develop the software to be inbuilt into the bot.
