Engineering students from Nagoya University and Gifu University and NC State College of Engineering faced off in a flying robot competition — and it was a fantastic experience for everyone involved.

The teams competed to design, build, and fly autonomous aerial robots, pushing their skills in robotics, aeronautics, and embedded systems. Beyond the technical challenge, students gained something equally valuable: the experience of competing on a truly international stage.

Congratulations to all the participants.

The competition was also featured in NC State ECE News, highlighting the cross-continental teamwork and student collaboration.
