The 3rd Design Contest for Advanced Mechatronics Systems

Date: May 17, 2003 (Saturday)
Place: Kofu Campus, Faculty of Engineering, Yamanashi University
Theme: Jug de Beer
Outline of contest: Two canned beer and two canned cola are put in the one side on a table. A mechatronics system should pour beer or cola into the jug by opening the pull top of the can, and carry the jug to the other side on the table. The score in the limitation time competes evaluating the poured amount (score) and the spilt amount (demerit mark).

Entry: (1) 2 teams, Iwatsuki Lab., Dept. of Mechanical and Intelligent Systems Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology
