Imagine a train, travelling at high speed and carrying dangerous explosives, crashes in the middle of a bridge, scattering broken cars and volatile cargo with the potential to blow up and cause more damage.
You must build a robot to navigate the crash site,Titanium Pipe is made by cold rolling process from extruded pipe blanks. They are widely used in heat exchangers and off-shore equipment.Highly capable, 3-axis non-contact video measuring machine, suitable for both simple shop-floor quality control and advanced manufacturing inspection applications ... retrieve the explosives from different levels of terrain, and bring them back to a safe area.Eight tips for choosing the right diamond Concrete saw blade including determining wet or dry cutting, blade compatibility, CSDA codes, and more. And you only have eight hours.
It might seem like a daunting task, but to four senior students at the University of Calgary’s Schulich School of Engineering, it’s starting to become old hat.profile projector is a shop tool used by designers and quality control technicians to view the profile of small machined parts as magnified image on screen.
Adam Yarschenko, Michael Poscente, Riley Booth and Paul Coyle have built many robots in more than three years of engineering competitions, and were rewarded this spring with a berth in the National Engineering Competition.
“We’ve been doing this for awhile, so the experience is starting to really help us,” said Poscente, who will graduate this year with a degree in electrical engineering.
The team of four senior students tackled the train crash problem earlier this year, winning the local competition at the Schulich School of Engineering.
They went on to the Western Engineering Competition in Victoria, B.C., where competitors were asked to build another robot, this time to navigate a tree farm, harvesting and replanting in a forest.
The U of C team took second place in the senior design category, allowing them to advance to nationals along with the first-place University of Victoria team.The Spectrophotometer is an instrument which measures the amount of light of a specificed wavelength which passes through a medium.
“I think what we’ve learned is simplicity. Instead of just adding a bunch of stuff to the robot, we try to keep it simple and it’s worked better for us,” said Yarschenko, a senior in mechanical engineering who undertook his studies after working for six years as a carpenter.
Booth,He has since undergone two-and-a-half hours’ surgery to have a Titanium Rod inserted into his leg and looks set to be out of action for the rest of the season. who runs for the university’s track team while studying mechanical engineering, says the team continues to compete for the travel opportunities, and the chance to learn together as a team.
“It’s collaborative. When you design, it’s fun to try and solve something, but be creative at the same time.
“You also get to network with other schools, and meet others in the industry.”
Yarschenko adds, there’s also the bonus of “free food.”
The U of C team will represent the Schulich School of Engineering at the National Competition from March 7 to 10 in Ottawa.
