Robot Systems Challenge Competition 2005
SAE Robotics will attend another exciting event in 2005: the North American Robot Systems Challenge, to be held at École de technologie supérieure (ETS) beginning April 28.

The team, which will compete against university representatives from Canada, the United States and Mexico, will demonstrate the skills of its robot, Nexus, during the various challenges, which include: Drop and Dash, Treasure Hunt, Collect the Eggs, Endurance and Obstacle Challenge, Tug-of-War, and Over & Under (robots must climb over an obstacle and pass under a horizontal, overhead obstruction).

It will be a busy spring for SAE Robotics and we wish the team much success!
