The robots delivered the energy to an electromechanical device which was used to determine how much energy was harvested. The competition was won by the robot which finished the challenge in the least time. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;LeTourneau&#8217;s robot stood out from the rest with its consistent performance,&#8221; said Dr. Seung Kim, engineering professor and IEEE faculty adviser who accompanied the team to competition.  &#8220;It was one of only two robots that successfully completed the challenge in each of the three rounds, and our students&#8217; robot took a much longer time to complete the challenge. Our students&#8217; success shows our courses in electrical engineering meet the high standards for industry.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONGVIEW &#8212; LeTourneau University senior electrical engineering and electrical engineering technology majors won first place in the IEEE Region Five Robotics Competition recently in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
