Robotics competition
A team of West Virginia University engineering students has won the $750,000 top prize in a NASA robotics competition. The prize was awarded last week at Worchester Polytechnic Institute in Worchester, Massachusetts. WVU’s Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources says the 10 students earned the most points by successfully navigating a robot to win the Level 2 competition for the Sample Robot Return Challenge as part of NASA’s Centennial Challenges.
