Avatar XPRIZE

Meet Team Tangible and all the XPRIZE Finalists

We are excited to support Team Tangible at the XPRIZE competition, made up of Chico State mechatronic engineering professor Jeremy Fishel and alumni Will Cortez ('16) and Jacob Grout ('22). Team Tangible is among the 17 finalists from 10 countries all coming to a head at THE BIGGEST showcase of robotic avatars ever. We can’t wait to see the avatars that they bring to the finals to test in front of our live audience and judges. To bring yourself up to speed on the competitors, meet the finalists.
