Hello CD community, we have great news from Mexico we thought would be nice to share with you!
On Sunday October 19th, team Panteras, from the Universidad Panamericana High School, participated in the opening ceremony of the artistic event “Guitar Town CDMX 2014” sponsored by Gibson and the Mexico City’s Government. For this, the team adapted and programmed a robot to paint a 10-foot tall guitar autonomously; which was later signed by the Head of Government of the Federal District: Dr. Miguel Angel Mancera. It will be exposed on the Reforma Avenue for a month and half.
The Panteras’ guitar theme was robotics. The design incorporates visual elements of engineering as well as a triangle, circle and square; red, white and blue, respectively; which refer to the FIRST logo.
The participation of a robot painting live at Guitar Town CDMX 2014 not only makes this edition unique to those presented earlier in cities like Nashville, Austin and London; but also demonstrates the integration of science and technology in the metropolis that is Mexico City.
