MCC hosted the 2016 mini UAV competition on Friday, April 29 sponsored by SUNY TYESA and MCC. Twelve teams from six different institutions participated. Team MCC (50% or "Pizza-Box UAV") John Andosca, John Rodman, Luck Petrison and Austin Goodwin defeated RIT and secured the second place in the overall competition.

The project was to design, build, and pilot a mini Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to transport a rescue kit through a series of obstacles and return to the starting point. The UAV had to be able to maneuver around and through obstacles, change altitude and deposit a payload. This project was designed to simulate a rescue kit delivery where human navigation is difficult or dangerous.

Thank you very much for your support to our engineering students.
