The entry won the 50-thousand dollar top prize in an Illinois contest to develop a robot tractor to seed a field.
One of the developers, Caleb Friedrick, says a map of a farmers’ field was put on a computer.
Friedrick says the winning prize money will be shared among the four University of Regina students.
He says developing a detailed map is one of the key issues for using a robot controlled seeding tractor.
The robot tractor is in the Canada Centre at the west edge of Evraz Place.
