Mech 2 Design Competition

UBC Mechanical Engineering Remote Control Vehicle Design Competition

Date: April 20, 2011
Location: Riley Park Ice Rink (map)
Time: 12:30- 3:30

The Challenge:

20 teams from UBC Mechanical Engineering will be competing in a fastpaced design competition. Each team has designed and built a small propeller-driven vehicle – as an added challenge, teams also had to design and manufacture their own propellers. Using remote control, the teams will race their devices head-to-head over five rounds of competition that will test speed, endurance, manoeuvrability, and more.

The Opportunities:

-> Get a close look at the different vehicle designs
-> Learn about engineering by speaking one-on-one with the students
-> Watch and cheer as the teams faceoff in an exciting head-to-head competition

The Event:

Everything takes place starting at 12:30pm on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at the Riley Park Ice Rink. This event is open to all.
