First and foremost, I thank God for His blessings and for giving me the strength to undertake this journey. I am especially grateful to Anay Kamat and Amey Hegde for spending considerable time reviewing the book and providing valuable feedback. I would also like to thank Vivek Menezes for sharing his valuable feedback. I would especially like to thank Sumesh Jaiswal, who first suggested that I should write a book on robotics competitions and sports. His suggestion gave me the idea to turn a question that I had been thinking about into a book. I would also like to thank Gagan Goyal, Founder Trustee of the STEM Education Trust, for supporting this effort and funding the publication of the book. I am grateful to the Principal of Sharada Mandir School for the encouragement and for providing a supportive environment in which I could learn and take part in competitions. I also acknowledge the use of AI tools for grammar checking and for assisting with some of the graphics in the book. Finally, I would like to thank my family, teachers, mentors, teammates, and everyone who encouraged me throughout this journey. Their patience, guidance, and encouragement made it possible for me to complete this book. Bibliography Cambridge Dictionary, 2026.
