Sam Durst is like most Utah Valley State College students. He's 22, takes business classes and stays active — skiing, bowling, riding horses and even rappelling.

But he's got a leg up on a lot of his fellow students. He already has a product he and his brother are readying for market, thanks to several engineering students at Brigham Young University .

The BYU Electrical and Computer Engineering department recently hosted its 6th annual Robot Soccer Tournament. The tournament is the culminating experience of an upper-level course taught in the department. 

For the 2004 competition, students designed and built completely autonomous robots that play two-on-two soccer. The winning team was awarded prize money donated by Micron.
