The element14 community jury has selected the first and second place winners of the design competition:
· First prize: Douglas Wong, Canada. Douglas created GraffitiBot, a fully autonomous ground vehicle capable of printing graphics onto the surface it travels on, producing a liquid drawing. Although GraffitiBot itself is small, the scope of the project is not, as it incorporates mechanical, electronic, software, and hydraulic design.
· Second prize: Rod B, United Kingdom. Rod created a robot to help construction workers carry heavy materials such as sand or gravel. To achieve this, Rod created his own PCB for TE's magnetic sensor so it could be mounted on the board, demonstrating an ingenious way of using the required technology. This was Rod's first time participating in an element14 design competition.
