Contestants must understand this new industrial discipline and the complex systems it encompasses, including mechanical, fluid power, and controls domain.
Competitors work in teams with skill levels which include pneumatic technology, electrical and electronics systems, mechanical systems, and general automation techniques and practices. Within a competition three events are held to measure skill in the manufacturing industry. Along with a comprehensive written test, students must be able to assemble, adjust and test an automated machine system, troubleshoot and repair a faulty machine system. The elements within the contest have been designed to be as realistic as possible.
Hosted personally at yours truly's home base, the Skills USA Mechatronics Contest.
