Last year, the MindSparks'19 champion of Techno Cad achieved the championship in IIT Roorkee too and the team from RoboRace segment was Runners-up at IIT Roorkee. This MindSparks'20 got more intense and bigger, thus it is expected that champions of this years' Mindsparks will come back participating at IIT upholding our country's flag.
