Aer0nauts win again!!!
​
In our first BMFA entry since 2019 we pitted planes in two of the 4 of the BMFA Payload Challenges and won in both our categories; First in the Cube Challenge and joint first in the Distance Challenge.
Tyler David won in the cube challenge with a plane he built designed to carry Rubik's cubes. Tyler is better known for his publishing books - and now for his success in an Aero challenge! Well done Tyler!
​
​Our win in the Distance Challenge was shared with our main protagonists from Manchester Grammar school who were sporting their first ever entry into the challenges. After a nail biting day the tie came down to and play off between the normalised marks for our slightly greater number of circuits flown v Manchester's superior design drawings.

Electronics in Products
​What are the issues surrounding making a functional product that incorporates electronics and control? Our ATV buggies are designed to function, to be easily constructed and then to be dismantled easily. In robots - how do we make arms move, heads turn and things go round and round? Join us to find out!
