The self-leveling tripod was presented by Chita students at the final of the Autumn CASE-IN Cup

Students of Chita Polytechnic College became silver medalists of the CASE-IN championship in the direction of the League of Working Specialties.

The international competition system for solving engineering cases - "CASE-IN" - has been bringing together initiative schoolchildren, students and young professionals from all over the country for more than one year in a row. This year, they needed to prepare a project to solve the problem of import substitution. Zabaikalians presented a "Self-leveling tripod". 

Elizaveta Mikhailenko, member of the Nevyazochka75 team: "We came up with this project all of a sudden. We sat and discussed and thought about ideas. It was more because the tripods don't change and we needed such an interesting structure. Then we contacted Quantorium and started implementing this project. We had two weeks for the qualifying stage. And in two weeks we built it."

Alexey Fomin, commander of the Nevyazochka75 team: "The essence of the device is to reduce the time of field work and to make it faster to install the device itself by surveyors and surveyors. That is, the devices have moved far ahead, but the equipment has remained generally unchanged in its kind, it will differ in that it will automate the process."

The team members are not random people, but students who already have an understanding of geodesy and have tried their hand at practice. 

Nadezhda Fokina, teacher of the technological department of the CHPTK: "I chose students who were already in production practice. It seems to me that in order to come up with ideas that could be useful in production, those people who have touched production and know what field work is, know their specialty not only in theory, but also in practice." 

As a result, the "Self-leveling Tripod" project was rated at the highest level. The device, as experts emphasize, is unique and has no analogues in Russia. In the future, students plan to refine it and put it into production so that the equipment can be used not only at Chita Polytechnic College, but also in other cities of Russia.
