Hi team!

We ran out of time on Sunday. I hope you enjoyed our Mechatronics party – which should have been much longer! We did not get the opportunity to tell you this. The entire expert team has a profound respect for all of you. We admire you – firstly for your courage in taking part, secondly for your ability to solve those complex and demanding tasks, and thirdly for your determination to keep going and give your best.

The tasks were world standard and all of you – each and every one of you – performed superbly under enormous stress. Well done!

We hope you enjoyed being part of the big Mechatronics Team in our competition. There are many things to improve, and we value your opinion. So please send your suggestions and comments to the Webmaster.

Representing your country in Mechatronics is a great step towards your shining future – we wish you all the best.

Remember – WorldSkills – if you take part, you always win.

Respectfully yours

Martin Williams

P.S. Well done to Team The Netherlands. You had that nightmare problem with your PLC, but came back fighting for the last section. We greatly admire the personal and team skills you displayed in mastering that situation.
