MANHATTAN — The Kansas State University Helwig Farms Quarter-Scale 1xbet online sports betting Teams, formerly Powercat Tractors, came home with two top-five finishes in the 20th annual American Society of Agricultural and 1xbet online sports betting Engineers' International Quarter-Scale Tractor Student Design Competition.
The teams competed June 2-4, in Peoria, Illinois, against 27 teams from universities in the U.S., Canada and Israel. K-State's A 1xbet online sports betting took fifth place overall and its X 1xbet online sports betting second overall. This is the 19th time in the last 20 years that one of the university's teams has won or placed in the top three at the event.
"Our now 20-year record speaks for itself," said Joe Harner, head of the biological and agricultural 1xbet online sports betting department. "To continually rank in the top tier of this international competition reflects well on our program, our students and our advisors."
A panel of industry experts judge each design for innovation, manufacturability, serviceability, maneuverability, safety, sound level and ergonomics. Teams submit a written design report in advance of the competition, and on site must sell their design in a formal presentation to the panel. Finally, machines are put to the test in three performance events: three 1xbet online sports betting pulls, a maneuverability course and a durability course.
The A 1xbet online sports betting — juniors and seniors — won both the Safety and First-Time-Through awards, and placed third in written report, first in oral presentation and fifth overall. The X 1xbet online sports betting — freshmen and sophomores — took first in the pulling event and second overall.
1xbet online sports betting advisors are Pat Murphy and John Kramer, both adjunct professors; Dan Flippo, assistant professor; Edwin Brokesh, instructor; Lou Ann Claassen, administrative specialist; and Jon Zeller, research technician, all from the biological and agricultural engineering department; and Jim Schmidt, Manhattan, biological and agricultural 1xbet online sports betting alumnus and department advisory board member.
