Eschweger students win Hessen Solarcup with an innovative robot!

A great success for the Brüder Grimm School in Eschwege: The two 13-year-old students Elias Beck and Elias Heeren triumphed at the 2025 of the Hesse Solarcup in Kassel. They not only won first place in the overall ranking, but also secured the special price for the best poster. This sets a sign of technical know-how and creativity in the school environment. Werra-Rundschau reports .

The two Elias ’competed in the solar robot category with their solar-powered robot" Bob ". Their challenge was to develop a robot that independently drives a three -lane racetrack and can skillfully carry out lanes in the curves. This technical trick was made possible by an infrared remote control, which earned the team not only special technical points, but also the respect of the jury. With speed and reliability, “Bob” was a high -flyer - and that in three decisive races in which the highest number of rounds was determined.

teamwork and hard work

After the Easter holidays, screwed, programmed and planned were screwed, programmed and planned. The students put a lot of time in their project day and night - according to the motto "where there is a will, there is also a way". They received support from the Lego Robotics AG of their school as well as from the MINT workshop at the University of Kassel and the school MINT-UP-AG. Her team, also called E², was the youngest in competition and prevailed against five other teams.

on the competition day, which took place on June 13, the two convinced with their posters - one of them even addressed the energy transition - the jury. This selection of topics shows how important such events are, not only for technical development, but also for the promotion of sustainable ideas. The University of Kassel emphasizes that the Hesse Solarcup puts the application of technology with solar energy and energy efficiency.

an outlook on the future

The two students are hungry for more and plan to develop their robot for the next year in order to get a little closer to real overtaking maneuvers. This not only shows their ambition, but also that technical understanding and teamwork are very popular.

Events such as the Hesse Solarcup are not only a competition, but also an important part of MINT funding, where young talents can demonstrate their skills in innovative projects. Hands on Technology emphasizes that such events promote the exchange between MINT talents and offer valuable experience.
