The ONC BOCES Mechatronics Program competed in the New York State Industries for the Disabled (NYSID) CREATE Competition on April 8th. The students competed against engineering college students from across the NYS. They developed a prototype crimping machine for Creekside Industries/ ARC Otsego in Oneonta, and the team took third place in this competition!
We want to thank Creekside Industries for their help and for giving us this opportunity, Home Depot in Oneonta for donating the worktable, ONC BOCES New Vision Engineering for 3D printing parts, ONC BOCES Visual Arts for producing our video, and Ralph W. Earl for loaning us parts to build our specialized vacuum tool. We could not have done this project without all of their support!
Congratulations to the Mechatronics Team for completing an outstanding prototype crimping machine!
