UIUC Robotics Competition 11
Weighing in at 125 pounds of taught steel and complex components, the robot created by the College of DuPage Engineering Club was the first ever from COD to participate in the 26th Annual Jerry Sanders Creative Design Competition at University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign.
In fact, College of DuPage, via the eight-member COD Engineering Club (“Team Vulcan”), is the only two-year school ever granted permission to fight for the title in this premium robotic contest. Other schools entered in this year's competition included UIUC, University of Illinois at Chicago, Valparaiso University, Northern Illinois University and the Illinois Institute of Technology.
The Team Vulcan robot is a square platform with a diameter of roughly 2 feet, 6 inches. The 125-pound machine is powered by three 24-volt batteries and moves at speeds of about 13 mph. Pictured: COD Executive Vice President Dr. Joseph Collins (right) and Team Vlucan captain Ted Stelling (left).
