As London hosts the Olympic Games from July 27 to August 12, 2012, the city becomes the first to host the Games three times: in hand, robot 1908, 1948 and 2012. This year, around 10,500 athletes representing 204 nations and territories are competing in 302 events cov- ering 26 sports at what is officially known as Get set for a revolutionary innovation as students of Amity University get The Games of the XXX Olympiad. together to build a robotic arm. Come, shake hands with the robot! London 2012 Olympics mascots are the one-eyed characters ‘Wenlock’ and ‘Man-

deville’. They were created from the last two drops of British steel used for the London 2012 Olympic stadium: both represent the start of the Industrial Revolution in UK.

The last Olympic gold medals that were made entirely out of gold were awarded in 1912. This year each gold medal is made up of 1.34% gold, 92.5% silver and the rest copper. 85mm in diameter and 7mm thick, the medals weigh around 375-400 gm. The Olympic stadium is the lightest sta- dium ever built and is said to have a capacity of 80,000 during the Games. Unlike the sta- diums in the past that were costly to build and were rendered empty after the Olympics, the ones constructed for this year are made of recycled material and designed in such a way that they can be easily broken down, shipped away, or converted for other uses.
