Wrap Up of Chicago Pack Expo

[MrBydlon]

Hey CD!

I put up a post about a week ago talking about the Pack Expo in Chicago. It's convention with over 1,900 companies showing off their packaging machine products.

Team 3313 Mechatronics was lucky enough to have some of our sponsors arrange and pay for us to go visit. It was a great experience!! The students had a fantastic time presenting our robot, Murphy, for a morning and then exploring and talking with engineers from all over the country.

Not only did we talk to manufacturers from all over the country, we also talked to FRC Robotics teams from all over the country. So a shout out to Team 384 Sparky from Richmond, VA, Team 2949 Pwnage from Chicago, IL, and Team 2115 Nightmare from Chicago, IL.

If you would like to check out some of our experiences, see the 9 min. YouTube playlist we created.

Or you can visit our Facebook page and scroll down to see all the pictures.

Or you can visit our website in a couple days and read about our experiences.

Sorry for the overload. It was just a fantastic opportunity to see robotic design and manufacturing in action and Team 3313 wanted to share that with the CD community.

Thank you to Massman Automation Designs, PMMC, and PMMI for sponsoring the trip.
