ECE students recently hosted a friendly competition with students from two universities in Japan, Gifu University and Nagoya University. 🤝

Teams designed “robot gliders” to fly as far as possible in a straight line from where they were launched with a rubber band. ✈️

The student-built aircraft traveled the length of two basketball courts! Congrats to the students who participated. 🎉
