October… It’s our favorite month of year at Simplexity when pumpkins and robots take the stage and our engineers get busy designing and building their contest entries! Our 2019 Halloween Mechatronics Contest was such a success, we decided to make it an annual event. This year we have 4 amazing engineering teams participating in the contest.

Our engineers were tasked with building a Halloween-themed mechatronic contraption that uses advanced engineering skills in mechanical, electrical, computer, and controls engineering to design and build their contraption, device, or moving robotic item.

This year, our engineers really outdid themselves, finding ways of making social distancing entertaining!

The 1st and 2nd place winners will take home a very special cash prize for their ingenious engineering skills and Halloween spirit. But most importantly, we need your participation to determine the winners by popular vote!

You can vote once per day in the Halloween Mechatronics Contest until polls close Monday, November 2^nd at 12pm PST.
