24-hour Robotics Challenge: Engineering under pressure
Recently, we had the opportunity to sponsor a 24-hour challenge. Eight student teams spent 24 hours coding mobile robots with ball-launching devices to overcome challenging obstacles and shoot balls into buckets.
Not only did we get the chance to meet these talented students and share more about Nobleo, we also had the privilege of supporting them as expert engineers throughout the event.
The challenge organisers created an impressive setup, with creative challenges and “power-ups” such as the Nobleo Nervefreeze, Nozzlewobble and Tornado, designed to test the teams under pressure.
This is exactly what F1-style engineering looks like: high pressure, time-constrained, and a setting where innovation thrives when the clock is your biggest competitor. Watching these students collaborate, problem-solve and deliver working solutions within just 24 hours was genuinely inspiring.
A sincere thank you to Ruben Beumer and his team, as well as Professor René van de Molengraft, for hosting an engaging challenge and giving students the opportunity to experience an environment where time is never on your side.
Events like this help shape the next generation of engineers. We were happy to contribute and be part of the challenge!
