New horizons for "Mechanik TEAM" - cooperation with the Podkarpackie Innovation Center
At the end of 2024, our team, the "Mechanik TEAM" School Robotics Club, took another important step in its development – we established cooperation with the Podkarpackie Center for Innovation (PCI). Thanks to this ambitious partnership, we gained not only financial and material support but also substantive resources that significantly improved the quality of our projects and opened the door to even more advanced activities.
The result of this collaboration is Ragnar – our new robot, the pride of the team. This remotely controlled vehicle can do much more than just move according to the operator's commands. Thanks to the use of modern sensors and a well-thought-out design, Ragnar can also operate in autonomous mode, independently analyzing its surroundings and avoiding obstacles. This is the result of many hours of design, testing, and continuous improvement.
Collaborating with PCI also gave us access to professionally equipped workshops that we use to implement our ideas. The ability to cut aluminum profiles and print structural elements on modern 3D printers significantly streamlined the robot construction process and allowed us to utilize solutions previously unavailable to us.
This is a huge step forward for our team and a motivation to continue. PCI's support has shown us that young engineers with passion and determination can truly achieve great things – all it takes is a little trust, a good partner, and… an idea that will become reality!
