Mechatronics Competition

 

The robots in the Mechatronics class projects are built by mechanical engineering students during their third year. This includes design and manufacture of the mechanical systems, integration of sensors, actuators, and the microcontrollers. These robots must be entirely autonomous, which means that the robots must compete in the events without any user input.
