2009 ASME Student Mechanism and Robot Design Competition

We have extended the deadline for submitting a letter of intent to May 8th, 2009 for submitting an entry to this year's ASME Student Mechanism and Robot Design Competition to be held at the 2009 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences in San Diego, CA from August 30-September 2, 2009. This competition is organized by the ASME Mechanisms and Robotics Committee.

The ASME Student Mechanism and Robot Design Competition is an excellent opportunity for both undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their abilities in designing mechanisms and robots. This competition consists of two rounds: in round one, student(s) send a report on their design, and in round two, a few selected teams from round one are invited to the conference to present their design. Winners of the competition will be recognized during the Mechanisms and Robotics luncheon at the conference venue, and presented with awards which in the past have included both cash and software prizes. Additionally, an effort will be made to allocate some travel funds to be evenly divided among the finalists.

The details on how to participate can be found at

If you are a student, apply! If you are an engineer or professor, we would appreciate if you can distribute this email (along with the attached flyer from the above website) to your colleagues working in the mechanisms and robotics area, and post it on department bulletin boards for further dissemination.

Sincerely,

Brian Trease (trease@asme.org), Mechanisms-Undergraduate Division Coordinator
