Robot folks needed!

This one's my idea...you can't use it. It's mine.

Larry Wight tells me he & Nick are looking for folks to help with this competition, at Friday Harbor High:

LOOKING FOR MENTORS TO HELP BUILD AN UNDERWATER, REMOTE CONTROLLED, ROBOT (ROV) WITH STUDENTS

FHHS, in conjunction with Spring Street International School and Paideia School, is forming Middle School and High School robotics clubs to build several underwater ROVs. The ROVs will compete against other clubs in May. The tasks are challenging and the competition will be tough. The clubs will need a lot of technical support to complete their projects and to compete with pride.

More information about the competition is here.

We are looking for adults with experience in
– Servo motors
– Underwater propulsion
– Mechanical engineering
– Electrical engineering
– Small hydraulics systems
– Data management via serial ports

Most of the construction and testing will take place on Sundays. If you have expertise and would like to help (no amount is too small!), please contact either Nick Frazee (nfrazee (at) sjisd.wednet.edu) or Larry Wight (lwight (at) sjisd.wednet.edu).
