The young people from Oradea returned home with 4 prizes: 1st and 2nd place in the Humanoid Robot test, a test in which the robots had the task of climbing stairs and crossing an area with obstacles autonomously; 2nd place in the Line follower-kids test, where the robots had to autonomously follow a line using sensors; 3rd place in the Humanoid Sumo test, a test in which the robots fought autonomously with the opponent in a ring.
"These awards increase the visibility of the robotics club and the Mechatronics department. We are very happy that the participating students had the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge. Part of the participating team in Bucharest is already working on the robots with which we will go at the end of this month in Estonia, at the biggest international robotics competition - Robotex," said the founder of Robotics Club Oradea, head of works DEng Flaviu Birouas
