MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State University students won their fourth consecutive Robotics Championship at the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers international annual meeting June 20-23 in Pittsburgh, Penn.

The competition encourages university student teams to create robotic solutions for future challenges in the food and fiber production systems. The 2010 competition required the robot to accurately measure the tree height in a forest providing an estimate of cellulostic material available for bio-energy production.

The K-State team competed against teams from the University of Florida, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State University.
