Past winners

Past winners of the vector award have ranged from robotic drilling systems to pneumatic hands, massive water treatment facility systems, and more. The 2016 golden vector was awarded to an oil-drilling platform robot, which can select and move drilling elements before utilizing the selected tools to complete a range of tasks. The silver was awarded to A tool and mold-making system, which used cable carriers on a machine tool’s 7th axis to allow for extremely fast accelerations and directional changes. The bronze went to a concrete spreader system, which created prefabricated components across a long travel.
