DECATUR COUNTY, Ind. — Six local students recently took part in the National Fluid Power Association’s Fluid Power Challenge.
The team from Decatur County met in late February to learn and experiment with fluid power and hydraulics.
Over a period of six weeks, the team continued experimenting and building a fluid-powered machine to pick a wooden cylinder and place it on a base at varying lengths.
The Decatur County team achieved the second highest score of all the teams participating.
Team members included Owen Geis, Braden Geis, Payton Hornberger, Bryant Menkedick, Christopher Gauck, and Ethan Burkhardt.
