Mae Jo University winners return home
The winners returned home from
Beijing recently and were
congratulated by their school mates.
The Mae Jo University team returned from Beijing where
they took two titles in the Bosch Power Tools Asia Cordless Race 2011,
beating out students from China, South Korean, Malaysia, and the
Phillippines.
The Mae Jo team finished the final race
of go-karts powered by Bosch cordless lithium ion technology in 1.43 minutes
to take the championship. A team from Beijing Institute of Technology took
second.
The Mae Jo team also won the 100 meter
race showcasing the go-karts acceleration which took the race in 8.956
seconds.
The students designed and build all the
parts including steering, the body and brakes themselves and powered the
vehicles with engines using Bosch lithium-ion cordless technology.
The team’s secret, according to their
adviser, was the lightweight of the go-kart and choosing a driver who
weighed only 40 kilograms.
Bosch company executives designed the
competition to encourage students to think creatively and practically.
