Congratulations Corbin and Konner
A new contest that the chapter participated in this year is the Agricultural Power Diagnostics contest. This contest is geared towards those students who are mechanical in nature. For this particular contest, students work in teams of two and rotate around to five different stations. While at these stations, teams are presented with a piece of agricultural equipment ranging from a compact tractor, zero turn mower and larger size tractors; sometimes there might even be a skid loader or small excavator. Students are presented with a customer complaint about the equipment so students have to work together to verify the problems and fix the problems within a set amount of time. There are only two problems that students have to find while also looking out for any safety issues like a loose or missing lug nut or missing SMV sign.
Students from Houston who participated this year included freshman Corbin Dulin and sophomore Konner Pleiman. These two gentlemen did a great job and placed 7th out of 23 teams at the district level!
