Eurobot Final 2011

After the final phase of the International Robotics Cup Eurobot, the Montefiore Team ranked 10th in the world ranking !
This contest took place from 28 June to 3 July in Astrakhan, Russia. For more information, visit the section dedicated to the 2011 European Cup.

Previously, during the Belgian Robotics Cup, our robot had also performed well by winning the 4th place of the overall ranking and was the third Belgian team. Details of the national competition are available on the page dedicated to the 2011 Belgian Cup.

In addition to these official competitions, we have also participated in various robotics events (see the Events section).

Who are we ?

Montefiore Team is the robotic team from the University of Liège (Belgium) involved in the European contest "Eurobot".

This team consists of engineering students from various fields (electronics, computer science, mechanics, ...) and of several academic members (researchers and teaching assistants).
The team works under the supervision of Prof. Bernard Boigelot.

Participating to the Eurobot contest is a practical exercise which allowed the students to concretely put into practice the theories taught in the different disciplines and to take part in a stimulating competition, passing through a qualifying phase in Belgium before coming up against the best European university teams.

Brief History :

* 2007: Norbert

The Heroic era ! With no experience but a huge motivation, the team qualified and ranked 5th in the Belgian Cup !

* 2008: Frida

Using skills learned from the previous year, Montefiore Team built Frida, a robot who became vice-champion of Belgium !

* 2009: Athos

The year of the technological leap forward ... but things never go according to plan. Some adjustment problems prevented the robot to meet all requirements of the contest.
Athos was not presented, but our work was not in vain and represented a solid basis for the next year !

* 2010: Albert

The year of renewal ! Creativity Award and 5th place in Europe !

* 2011: Wilbur

Honoring his ancestors, Wilbur won his ticket for the European Cup and is preparing to visit Russia !
