Fluid Power Challenge

Posted November 29th, 2011 by bloduha

On November 18th eight teams of students from Keller went to Harper College to compete against nearly 55 other teams from the area in the 2011 Fluid Power Challenge. Each team of four students had spent the previous month building, testing, and creating a design portfolio for a machine powered by hydraulics. On the day of the competition students had to submit their portfolio to a group of professional engineers for evaluation while rebuilding their machine. The teams then competed to see which machine could raise the most wooden blocks to the top of  a tower within two minutes. At the end of the contest two Keller teams were awarded trophies by the National Fluid Power Association. Keller Team Four received the award for best design and Keller Team Seven received a trophy for best machine performance. Congratulations to all of Keller’s teams on a great showing at Harper.
