Mouser Electronics Launches Innovation Challenge

Mouser Electronics Inc., a distributor of semiconductors and electronic components has partnered with engineer Grant Imahara to launch a robotics challenge. The Robotics Empowering Innovation Challenge, according to the company, covers a variety of topics and challenges to defy innovation and help engineers pursue new ideas.

This round, Imahara is asking entrants to solve a real-world problem with his own robot called "The Spider." After ideas are submitted, contestants can share their ideas via social media. The top three winning ideas will qualify for a prize.

“We’re so thrilled to be working with Grant on this Empowering Innovation Together campaign,” said Glenn Smith, Mouser president and CEO. “It’s a great partnership, because Mouser provides the newest products and technologies, while Grant provides the inspiration and engineering expertise – it’s a perfect pairing, and so far, the response has been phenomenal.”
