- The Midwestern Robotics Design Competition (MRDC) is an annual student-run robotics competition held every March at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where participant teams compete with self-constructed robots in an annual game objective. The competition was first held in 1987 and is one of the oldest continuing robotics competitions in the United States. Prior to 2016, it was named the AMD Jerry Sanders Creative Design Competition (JSDC) after Jerry Sanders, a University of Illinois alumnus and the co-founder and former long-time CEO of AMD. A different game objective is created every year, intended to test the competitors' skills in creative design and functionality. Team registration usually ends in January, and is open to any college or university team. Multiple independent teams from the same university are allowed. Participating teams from universities across the Midwestern United States spend nearly a year designing and constructing their robot for the event, and travel to the UIUC Engineering Open House in March to compete in the 2,000 sq ft (190 m2) arena for the two-day (Fri-Sat) event. The Design Competition is funded by grants from ARM and is organised by the MRDC Committee at UIUC. According to the MRDC website, "The competition promotes engineering disciplines and offers students a chance to demonstrate their technical abilities and creativity while applying knowledge learned in engineering courses. Overall, the design competition presents a well-rounded multi-disciplinary engineering challenge to future engineers." (en)
