Remote Car Design Competition

Remote Car Design Competition (RCDC), is an engineering competition, where participants, from parts and materials provided by the organizers, will be tasked with building a remote-controlled vehicle capable of driving through an obstacle course in the shortest possible time. The second organized category is Case Study, where participants create a solution to a problem presented to them. Participants will have to demonstrate skills in electronics, mechanics or computer science, as well as creativity in order to complete the tasks set before them.

Categories of the competition

Case Study

This category involves solving an engineering problem and presenting the results of the work in the form of a poster or mock-up, for example.

Remote Car Development

This category consists in building a remote-controlled car from available parts, which will run through an obstacle course in the fastest possible time.

What does the event look like?

During the event, you can benefit from the support of a mentor.

For about 8 hours of creating mock-ups/remote-controlled cars, participants have the opportunity to consult with a mentor, who provides assistance, guidance and support in solving any problems or doubts.

Case Study - evaluating the work. 
During the RCDC, participants present the results of their several hours of work in any form they choose - it can be a multimedia presentation, a mock-up or a poster. The presentation lasts a few minutes, after which representatives from the academic and business communities ask questions related to the presented project.
Remote Car Development - evaluating the work. 

After constructing a remote-controlled vehicle, the participant can test its operation on a specially prepared track. During the official run, the driving time is measured by a transponder, and the winner is the one whose car covers the route the fastest.
