Olivia Sribniak and Anthony Gyke, senior electro-mechanical engineering technology (EMET) students at Penn State New Kensington, set up their Arduino microcontroller for their automated roping robot. The concept, which started as their senior EMET design project, has also earned them a finalist spot in the 2018 Inc.U entrepreneurship competition. Their prototype is part of their official startup known formally as "Steer Logic."
Anthony Gyke, senior electro-mechanical engineering technology (EMET) student at Penn State New Kensington, smiles at his Steer Logic partner, Olivia Sribniak, who is also a senior EMET major at the campus. The duo have turned their automated roping dummy robot into a concept that has earned them a finalist spot in the 2018 Penn State Inc.U competition where they will pitch Steer Logic for a chance at investment funding.
Olivia Sribniak, senior electro-mechanical engineering technology major at Penn State New Kensington, participates in a team roping event. Her personal experience roping led to her idea for creating an automated team roping dummy robot with her senior design project partner Anthony Gyke. The duo formed "Steer Logic," which has become a finalist in the 2018 Inc.U competition.
