The robot project of Kanazawa Institute of Technology started in 1996 from an initiative of two freshmen within the Dream Laboratory. In order to enhance students' level of technology, students challenged NHK Robot Contest. But after several difficult years sophomore students established the system to generate ideas to fight for new rules of the contest, design, make, test, demonstrate good performance at the contest by learning and educating incoming students by themselves. During the practice drastic changes in total capability have been found in each student involved, which indicates robot contest is an extremely good tool not only for engineering design but also cultivating human power.
