Tournament of Assembly Technology
Tournament of Assembly Technology
With the eyes of the nation focused on college basketball tournaments, we at ASSEMBLY magazine are feeling a little left out. People ought to be just as excited about SCARA robots and servo presses as they are buzzer beaters and slam dunks! And so we are conducting our first Tournament of Assembly Technology.
In the bracket below, we’ve paired 16 major assembly technologies against each other. Your job: Pick a winner in each matchup. We’ll repeat the process each week until we have a champion.
