Using technology improved from previous years, we are making a remote control 4x4 vehicle, along with associated marketing and design for our team to win the national finals, and maybe even the international ones! The goal of this competition is to bring young, innovative minds together from all over the world and develop future leaders of technology, design, marketing and engineering.

Currently, we are preparing for the Slovak regional finals taking place in Nitra in November, in which our vehicle will have to make it through a rigorous obstacle course, and our team’s achievement will be scrutinized.

So far in marketing, we have managed to get sponsors from BISB, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Pigagro. From the financial aid received from these sponsors, we will purchase and develop car parts/materials, uniforms, pieces of the pit display that we will build at the competition, and miscellaneous promotional products that will be available to all of you. We have also set up a tier system for sponsors, with rewards including global exposure to the automobile/marketing market via logos and names on our uniforms, the car and the pit display. We are currently working towards getting more sponsorships to accelerate our progress and for the general marketing of our team.

Meanwhile, on the Tech side of the team, we are working towards a final design for the structure and inner workings of our car, using 3D Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and a 3D printer to cheaply and easily produce parts. So far we have experimented with multiple chassis and wheel designs, having learned important lessons from every step along the way. We have also finished some cosmetic features of the car, such as the body shell, using novel techniques and materials.

Overall, we are excited to compete in the Slovak national finals in November of this year and are confident that we will progress to the world finals afterwards.
