On October 26th, the CADthinkers high school chapters competed in our
city-wide 3D modeling competition. Check out their projects and results!
First Place
Rover Name: MTP24
Team: Nhat-Mai Dinh, Tammy Nguyen, and Payton Swann
The MTP24 Rover, designed with a vacuum-powered collection system, an ultrasonic-sensing system for obstacle pathfinding, and spiked wheels can easily glide through Mars' rocky hills and dust storms.
