Virginia Tech will play host to a first-time,
university-wide competition for students to deign on-demand, remote-controlled
3-D printed aircraft and ground vehicles.
Up for grabs in the Spring 2014 Additive Manufacturing Grand
Challenge that launches March 4: $15,000 in cash prizes, including $3,000 for
first prize in each of the air and ground vehicle competitions, and $250 for
each team that creates a functional vehicle.
Undergraduate and graduate students, individually or in
groups, are invited to participate from across the university, no matter their
course of study.
