The Quality Award celebrates machine robustness in concept and fabrication

Award Guidelines

  • A team must be able to describe their quality plan i.e. how their design ensures robustness throughout the entire competition.
  • The entire machine demonstrates quality: workmanship, welds, attachment systems, wiring, paint, etc.
  • The machine can withstand the rigors of competition – maintaining functionality, including the use of designed-in redundancy and risk mitigation measures.
  • Building the machine contributes to the team’s success.

Team Approach

The team prides itself in building robust machines through our many seasons, and documents the design decisions taken to ensure consistent performance in our engineering report.
