The College of Ag also just won a competitive research grant of nearly $14 million and the Plant Pathology department was rated the best in the country.

With that Chinese 'cruiting pipeline, we may never lose this Title.

What a good group of well-rounded emaws. Just a bunch of kstategrads who like to tinker with robots as a hobby, win 7str8 championships while they're at it.

Kiss the rings

we're at the point where we need to start giving these things away to like goodwill or something so emporia state and ku and other schools nearby can have titles too. it's bordering on gluttony.

Will EMAW be considered "Good" and Skynet "Evil" . . . I hope so, because I always want EMAW to fight for Good.

Do you think those studs have been trying to make a robot Snyder to put Bill's brain in when his body starts going out?

Already been done. Think about it, why else would Weefs make such a terrible, yet entertaining hire in RP? He was a giant distraction while robo-snyds was created. 3 years of work and he was ready for launch. Job well done, robo team.

MANHATTAN -- Just call them Team Automatic.

Kansas State University's Robotics Team won its seventh straight championship at the student robotics competition offered at the recent annual international meeting of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers in Kansas City, Mo.

The university has never lost the competition since its inauguration in 2007.

"I think the students' interest in robotics and their positive experience obtained through participating in the activities have kept them motivated year after year," said Naiqian Zhang, professor of biological and agricultural engineering and team adviser. "The positive encouragement and strong support from the department of biological and agricultural engineering and the College of Engineering also were an important factor for their continued success."

For the competition, the team had to design robots that could go into a hay field -- simulated by toilet paper rolls on a 8-by-8-foot board -- and pick up "bales" colored red, blue and green, then stack them at three corners of the board, respectively. Points were awarded for speed, accuracy and elegance of design.

Zhang said the students worked on their robots for several months prior to the competition.

#7str8 for Team Automatic
