On 18 August 2023, the final of the Seventh Logistics Technology Creativity Competition of China University Students’ Mechanical Engineering Innovation and Creativity Competition “Mineral Resources Cup” 2023 came to an official end. After a fierce competition, “Little Carp” created by undergraduates Sun Shouyi, Cha Rongguo, Zhang Jain, Cao Rimeng and Xie Tianhai stood out among numerous teams, winning a first prize at the national level. While “MOSS” created by Li Zehang, Hu Chendi, Xi Runxiao, Yu Changping and Li You won third prize at the national level.

The China Student Logistics Technology Creative Competition is one of a series of professional competitions organized by the China University Students’ Mechanical Engineering Innovation and Creativity Competition. The event was sponsored by the Chinese Mechanical engineering Society Logistics Engineering Branch and five other colleges, such as Wuhan University of Technology, Southeast Jiaotong University, Taiyuan University of Science and Technology, Dalian University of Technology, and Tongji University. The scientific and creative activities for postgraduates, undergraduates and junior college students has been chosen for many consecutive years by the Chinese Society of Higher Education issued by the National General Colleges and Universities Academic Competitions Ranking list.

This year’s competition was organized by Taiyuan University of Science and Technology and the Logistics Engineering Branch of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society. Participating schools included Tongji University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Taiyuan University of Science and Technology, and Dalian University of Technology and other “double first-class” colleges and universities, as well as 340 teams of nearly 1,700 competitors. After the initial rounds of school competitions and regional competitions, there were 97 groups of works from 51 colleges and universities that entered the finals, with 24 groups of works winning second prizes and 30 groups of works winning the third prize.

The School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering provided a good debugging environment and competition venue for the participating teams. Under the guidance of their instructor, the team members divided the work clearly, from the design and assembly of the machine to the layout of the venue, to ensure that everything was in order. Finally, the team members were calm and skillful in their respective roles, laying a solid foundation for a perfect end to the competition.
