FEH Robot Competition

Enjoy engineering, fun and robots during the 26th annual FEH Robot Competition

Celebrate National Robotics Week (April 2-10) and watch first-year engineering students compete to see which robots perform the best on Saturday, April 9, during The Ohio State University College of Engineering’s 26^th annual robot competition.

The Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors (FEH) Robot Competition is the culmination of a semester-long design-and-build project that challenges 228 first-year engineering honors students to design, build and program a fully autonomous robot vehicle in just nine weeks.

Fifty-seven student teams will compete in both a round-robin and a single-elimination tournament competition to determine which student-built robot can best execute the required tasks to help a restaurant meet increased demand. Each team of three to four students will set their robots in motion around a student-built 12-square-foot course that simulates a diner. The fully autonomous robots have just two minutes to perform specific tasks, including flipping a burger, selecting a requested song on the jukebox, putting away a used dining tray, sliding an order ticket and flipping a lever to dispense the correct amount of soft-serve ice cream.

The entire university community and the public are welcome; traditionally, several hundred spectators attend.

Schedule: 

• 12:00 p.m. to approximately 3:00 p.m.: Round-robin competition
• 4:15 p.m. to approx. 5:45 p.m.: Single-elimination tournament
• 6:00 p.m.: Presentation of awards

Parking: Parking is available at the Neil Avenue Parking Garage or the Tuttle Park Place Parking Garage at an hourly rate.
