Alex Nytko, senior in biological systems engineering, discusses a computer display — which shows performance in terms of torque, RPM, force and other measurements — with fellow members of the Helwig Farms K-State Quarter-Scale Tractor Team and with Ryan Zecha (far left), industry advisor for the team. Team members pictured in the back row: Grant Friesen (from left), sophomore in biological systems engineering; Evan Ridder, sophomore in biological systems engineering; and Jace Shirley, sophomore in agricultural technology management. The group met in the basement of Seaton Hall on Thursday, March 8, 2018. (Tiffany Roney | Collegian Media Group)
