Northwestern Design Competition 2010

 DMC has once again sponsored the Northwestern Design Competition. Design Competition is a contest that occurs every year at Northwestern and pits fully autonomous robots against each other to accomplish a specific task. This year that task was following a line maze and retrieving wooden and metal tokens to score points. The robots competed head to head which made collisions a very real possibility.

Those of you who keep up on the DMC blog may have read the employee spotlight that detailed my own participation in Design Competition. I have to say that it was one of the best learning experiences I had in college. I'm glad DMC could support this event and that students continue to have the opportunity to compete against each.
