Greg Schroll '08 Takes Top Honors in Collegiate Inventors Competition
MIT MechE grad Greg Schroll was recently honored by the Collegiate Inventors Competition, taking first place in the Undergraduate division for his project "Spherical Vehicle with Flywheel Momentum Storage for High Torque Capabilities". Inspired by the principle of gyroscopic precession, Schroll developed a spherical robot which generates angular momentum to overcome obstacles such as hills or stairs. Schroll, who is currently a graduate student at Colorado State University, studied under Professor Alex Slocum at MIT. To learn more visit the Collegiate Inventors Competition website.
