Robojackets Return From China

Posted by aj Jul 30, 2008

Perhaps you remember reading about the mighty Robojackets on MFGx a few months back.

The Robojackets, you'll recall, are the group from Georgia Tech University that aim to spread the robotics and automation word. They participate in several robotics competitions throughout the year in many different locations.

Well, they're just now back from the RoboCup 2008 competition in Suzhuo, China. They competed in events against teams from all over the world - Germany, The Netherlands, Japan, Iran, and many others.

The Robojackets team (seen below, at the MFG.com Shanghai offices) were sponsored by Caterpillar, General Motors, MFG.com, and multiple groups at Georgia Tech.

I feel kinda bad for the guy standing in front of the purple flowers, unless he's actually wearing them. Then again... they're likely robotic arms! Ah ha! Looks like a great effort.

LOL! I thought the same thing. Pretty cool to see our GaTech fans there - these are some really smart characters.
