Camping Payment and booking
The Campsite is now open for teams to book at the BMFA Buckminster. To cover increased costs in the provision of facilities, we have introduced a camping fee which is priced at £300 + VAT for the 3 nights onsite (arrival by 14:00 on Monday 1st July to Thursday 4th July). Please note the campsite must be clear by 19:00 on Thursday 4th July.
The pitch space should be sufficient for tents that will fit 10 team members, if you need more information on dimensions to know if your tent(s) will fit please let us know. If for any reason you need any extra nights, please contact us directly and we will see what can be accommodated, but there are no guarantees.
Please download a booking form and email it to: eventenquiries@imeche.org - remember to bring your tents and all camping equipment you will need.
About the UAS Challenge:
Launched in 2014 with the key objectives of developing professional engineers and inspiring the next generation, teams of undergraduates from all over the world take part in the annual UAS Challenge, which celebrates its 10 year anniversary in 2024.
Starting each October, student teams undertake a full design and build cycle of an unmanned aerial system (UAS) with a maximum take off mass of 10kg to undertake specific mission objectives, culminating in a final fly-off event in June/July the following year. The system will be required to operate automatically, performing a series of tasks such as area search, navigating waypoints, accurately dropping the Aid Package and returning to base via a defined route.
