End of Line Robotics Competition – the Fast and the Functional

This cherished annual competition took place this year on Wednesday 13 December, and did not disappoint.

Judged by engineering and computer science academics from the School, the heart of this competition beats in the creativity and innovation of students from diverse backgrounds and degree courses, uniting to demonstrate their expertise in designing and programming robots, all with the aim of creating the fastest and most efficient machine.

The jeopardy of the competition is increased by participants encountering an unrevealed competition track, unveiled on the event day. 

Each team took centre stage, placing their robot on the starting line, with the ultimate objective of the robot autonomously completing two laps around the track, without any student intervention, and in the fastest time.

The winning teams accepted their awards from Professor Rajkumar Roy, Executive Dean of the School and Professor Sanowar (Associate Dean of SSE (SST))
