COMPETITION OF AUTOPROPULATED VEHICLES

The contest of Self-Propelled Vehicles, in which the commission was "to connect the town of 'Roviropolis de Baix' with the neighboring city of 'Roviropolis de Dalt', separated by an important difference.

It is proposed to build a cable car that connects them, with the only resource of gravitational potential energy granted by a mass attached to the cabin of the cable car itself ».

In the end the winning team was Askatasuna, formed by David Pérez, Silvia Vizcarro, Sergi González, Joel Balcells and Laia González. They designed a lightweight Artilugi and steel screws that allowed them to reach the peak with only 2 joules of energy.

The competition, which reached the 15th edition, was sponsored by the College of Industrial Technical Engineers of Tarragona.
