Winners of the Robot Team Challenge visiting the German Aerospace Center

  • Zürich, 29.01.2009

The winners of the “Robot Team Challenge” redeemed their prize and visited the German Aerospace Center. The robotics laboratory was the day’s highlight for the students from Sargans, Switzerland. They controlled robot arms and were visibly impressed by the machines’ abilities. In 2008 the students experienced hands-on the difficulties of programming a robot, when Netcetera and AdNovum organized the Robot Team Challenge. This robotic contest during Switzerland's year of IT aimed at bringing Swiss grammar school students closer to informatics. The Robot Team Challenge winners proved to be truly talented, one of the schoolteam, Daniel Graf, also won the first round of this year’s Swiss IT Olympics.
