Students of SAL institute of technology & engineering research have built a 2.5-km-long track for a Formula 1 robo race to be held as part of the institute's two-day tech-festival, SALCON-2012. The track was inaugurated on Monday. The theme of this year's tech-festival is 'Direction towards Innovation'.
