Contestants have the chance to prove their robotic welding prowess in a two-part competition which includes a hands-on practical test and a written examination. Both portions are timed, with the practical exam requiring a thorough knowledge of the art of robot programming, safety, and weld inspection. The practical portion will be judged based on speed, accuracy, and quality of the completed weld.
For the first time this year, contestants will also be divided into two separate classes: amateur and professional. The amateur class will include students or potential students in the robotic arc welding field, while the professional class is reserved for people already employed in a robotic welding field.
Prizes for the two classes are as follows:
| Professionals |
Amateur |
| 1st Place: $1,200 |
1st Place: $500 |
| 2nd Place: $700 |
2nd Place: $250 |
| 3rd Place: $350 |
3rd Place: $100 |

Industrial Laser Solutions
Thirty years ago, the challenge of laser welding pipeline steel was an intense effort by a small team of individuals in Edmonton, Alberta, that resulted in the construction of the world’s most powerful non-military laser. This was part of a project to design and build a laser welding machine for use on the pipeline projected to be built from the north shore of Alaska to the continental U.S. A new book by Dr. Vivian Merchant, who was one of the team building the laser system and undertaking the welding development, has been published.
