Abstract :
This paper describes a design competition called Systems Ball that has been successfully used in the Systems Engineering design course sequence at the United States Naval Academy. In the Systems Ball competition, student teams build remotely operated vehicles that partake in a combative version of basketball. Systems Ball has been found to be an effective and fun way to guide multiple student teams through the design process while stimulating their creativity
