Abstract:

JHU sent a student team to the AFRL competition in 2012, 2013 and 2014. None of the teams placed in the top 3 in any year. However every student engaged sincerely with the design problems posed by the competition and had a positive experience working with AFOSR staff and military personnel. In 2012 our student team presented a quad copter with a specialized suction device that could fly up the side of a cliff or building and create a strong attachment point for a climb rope. The team were able to demonstrate the suction and adhesive parts of their system.
