Phaedrus Systems and IAR Systems have joined together to sponsor the Imperial College Robotics Society (ICRS) Robo-Tracer Competition. The sponsorship provides the teams at Imperial with copies of IAR Embedded Workbench integrated development environment, IAR KickStart Kits (a development kit), IAR J-link debug probes, IAR visualSTATE graphical development environments, IAR compilers and cash for additional equipment. Total sponsorship is worth around £15,000.

“Today’s students are tomorrow’s engineers,” said Chris Hills CTO of Phaedrus Systems. “ICRS is the students choosing to extend their education with practical skills, in their own time. We are delighted to give ICRS a flying start.”

“It is a nice opportunity to be able to help ICRS with the tools they need to develop high performance problem solving robots,” said Edward Gibbins, UK Area Manager for IAR. “Additionally it was rewarding to understand the innovative solutions and approaches that Harry and the ICRS team have used to conquer engineering problems.”

“We want to thank Phaedrus Systems and IAR,” said Harry Eakins, founder of ICRS. “When they brought down the gear it was a great afternoon with some interesting discussion. We are all now anticipating a great start to ICRS's first year.”
