There is new twist on the old competition of the Robotics Challenge. The autonomous robots (not remote controlled) are not looking for ping-pong balls in this competition. The “aMAZEing Race” requires the robots to maneuver through a labyrinth.
Ivy Tech Community College, The Society of Manufacturing Engineers, Whirlpool Corporation and Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Indiana are sponsors of this event.
