The event was a great success. The students had fun and learned plenty about modelling, simulation, control design, code generation, and teamwork. I wrote a blog about the event here: <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/community\/2013\/03\/25\/fun-learning-and-drama-at-the-mathworks-student-robot-challenge\/\" >Fun, learning, and drama at the MathWorks Student Robot Challenge<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve compiled a brand-new video with the highlights of the day, which explains more about the contest and shows the LEGO MINDSTORM NXT robots in action!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xs-12 containing-block\"><div class=\"bc-outer-container add_margin_20\"><videoplayer><div class=\"video-js-container\"><video data-video-id=\"2330744423001\" data-video-category=\"blog\" data-autostart=\"false\" data-account=\"62009828001\" data-omniture-account=\"mathwgbl\" data-player=\"rJ9XCz2Sx\" data-embed=\"default\" id=\"mathworks-brightcove-player\" class=\"video-js\" controls><\/video><script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/62009828001\/rJ9XCz2Sx_default\/index.min.js\"><\/script><script>if (typeof(playerLoaded) === 'undefined') {var playerLoaded = false;}(function isVideojsDefined() {if (typeof(videojs) !== 'undefined') {videojs(\"mathworks-brightcove-player\").on('loadedmetadata', function() {playerLoaded = true;});} else {setTimeout(isVideojsDefined, 10);}})();<\/script><\/div><\/videoplayer><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robot competitions are in the air these days, what with the recent Battlebots competition in Massachusetts and the earlier Student Robot Challenge in the UK.
