Sponsors
Our sponsors and partners have allowed us to bring what we learn in our classes into reality. We are given the ability to design a large scale rover implementing theory which can take from this team directly into the work force. Using industry standard software and machines we are able to broaden our horizons. As a McMaster student-run team, 100% of your funds go into various aspects of our rover.
Kodarin Industries Ltd
Kodarin has allowed us to manufacture our designs into reality. We are able to design and understand manufacturing techniques: from placing crucial fasteners in strategic places to manufacturing large scale objects with certain weight limits. This can only be done by allowing us to have access to their many machines and manufacturing capabilities. We are thankful for Kodarin for giving us feedback and allowing us to learn design techniques to bring our designs from dreams to reality. |
