Jeff Rodriguez, TEE student, wins national robotics completion at ITEA conference!

I am pleased to announce that Jeffrey Rodriguez, a Technology and Engineering Education undergraduate student, was the winner of the Technology Education Collegiate Association (TECA) Robotics Contest held at the ITEA Conference in Louisville, KY this past weekend.  Jeff competed on the national level with other university teams. He designed and build an ingenious radio controlled, 4 wheel drive robot that was powered by twin 12 volt Dewalt drill motors and batteries. His robot was the fastest of all those competing. Even though his design included a three speed transmission, he easily beat the competition in this time trial event, and never had to shift beyond first gear! Jeff modeled the entire robot in Autodesk Inventor before building it and did a great job of documenting the design process. As a result, he also scored well above the competition in Design Portfolio points. Thanks to you Jeff for bringing this level of recognition to the Technology and Engineering Education Department and the CCSU School of Engineering and Technology. Great Job!  -- Mike Vincenti
