The purpose of this Pentatholon is to encourage students to become good engineers. A good engineer is defined as someone who builds systems that accomplish tasks with accessible designs, give and receive aid among peers, and competes to push forward the edge of the known possible. In short, we intend to inject hope into the world through inspiring feats of engineering. The purpose of this Pentatholon is to encourage students to become good engineers.

Accessible designs means that the designs, tools and components are accessible to all competitors, and non competitors equally. Designs and code should be housed in public facing Git repository. Tools should be free and open source to all people. The intent is to prevent enclosure of students skills by companies. Components should be generic commodity components or be manufactured with open licenses for multi-vendor sourcing.
