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:

This team catapulted their way to success with a reliable robot that could score with ease. When faced with particle transportation problems, they dug deep into their TOOL CHEST for solutions to fueling their LOCOMOTIVE. Their robot is as strong as their team name implies, and it has certainly earned its stripes.

Winner: Team 118, Steel Hornets from Emmaus, PA

2nd Place: Team 10353, Metal Works       3rd Place: Team 6964, Team Igutech
