PTC Design Award - Industrial design at its best
The intent of the PTC Design Award is to expand the challenge, inspiring Teams to incorporate industrial design into their robots. These elements can be shown in the simplicity of the design as it applies to the tasks, the look and feel of the robot, and how the design allows us to think of robots in new ways. The Design aspect must serve a function but they should also differentiate the robot in a unique fashion not an easy task with a limited set of parts and game challenge.
Here is what the judges had to say:
For the design award, this team has it all right. They are wearing gold to reflect their winning style. You see, they have a clean simple design, obvious functionality, and a notebook full of incredible CAD renderings. Their design shines with brilliance.
