This year the competition's theme was to design, build, and perform test runs for a vehicle model that can pick up rocks, surmount obstacles and bring rocks to the designated deposit area. Led by Dr. Li Yiyang (2nd left), Prof. Xu Dongyan (1st right) and the assessor Leung Yun-yee, the CUHK team beat eight counterparts representing eight universities from Hong Kong, Macau and China, with its innovative design ideas, excellent presentation and demonstration.
