ASME competitions challenge the best and brightest engineering students in North America to compete against one another.The competitions are different every year to ensure that student designs are started from scratch.This year's challenge is for student teams to construct an unmanned aerial vehicle or UAV.The completed UAV must be able to navigate the ASME course.The course will include two, five meter x two meter gates and a .71mdiameter hoop that the UAV must pass through.The UAV will also earn bonus points for carrying a payload and dropping it on a target.The control and propulsion system must be designed by the student team to prevent a team from buying a remote controlled helicopter to enter the Lighter than Air UAV competition.
