The 1st Design Contest for Advanced Mechatronics Systems

Date: July 14, 2001 (Saturday)
Place: Ohokayama Campus, Tokyo Institute of Technology
Theme: Picking balls on/in water up
Outline of contest: Two kinds of marbles that the diameter and the color are different sink in the bottom of the water tank, and two kinds of super balls with different diameter and color is floating on the water tank. When a mechatronics system puts marbles of a small diameter or super balls of a large diameter out outside of the water tank, a team gets scores. When the mechatronics system puts marbles of a large diameter or super balls of a small diameter out outside of the water tank, the team looses scores. The score in the limitation time competes.

Entry: (1) 3 teams, Hayashi-Iwatsuki Lab., Dept. of Mechanical and Intelligent Systems Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology
(2) Aoyama Lab., Dept. of Intelligent Machinery, University of Electro Communiation
(3) 3 teams, Tanaka Lab., Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Hosei University
(4) 3 teams, Terada Lab., Dept. of Mechanical Systems Engineering, Yamanashi University
Result: The 1st place : Yamanashi University
The 2nd place : Yamanashi University
*Our Lab. : We lost with no scores and swore revenge!
