The 10th International Pneumobile Competition was held in May 2017 by Aventics Company. The Pneumobile Competition is a special project based learning for engineering students. The object is the design and construction of a “pneumatic vehicle” – PNEUMOBILE –which is driven by compressed air. Vehicle should be designed in accordance with the rules included in General vehicle specification. Pneumatic elements and PLC for building the vehicle will be provided by Aventics Hungary Kft. for the teams. The University of Miskolc (UM) has had a great tradition in this fantastic race because in the first competition three vehicles were built. Since then altogether 15 vehicles have been built and more than 50 students from our University have been involved in this work. In this article, the history of the participation of UM at the Pneumobile Competitions and the typical difficulties which can be show up during the planning and building phases have been summarized.
