On July 10th, the student assistants and staff of IKAT came together for a fantastic barbecue evening. In a relaxed atmosphere, there was plenty of lively conversation, delicious grilled food, and the occasional cold drink.
The undisputed highlight of the evening was the eagerly anticipated boßel challenge! The goal: to maneuver a machine element through a course with as few throws as possible—a task that required not only skill but also clever strategy. The flanges truly shined here, taking full advantage of their impressive rotational energy to outperform the rolling shafts.
A big thank you goes to our colleagues from the “Sustainable Products” research group for organizing this unforgettable event. We’re already looking forward to the next edition in 2026!
