The whole robotics class in front of the Michigan Theatre

On Thursday, November 6th, we held our annual Robotics Movie Night at the historic Michigan Theatre in Jackson. About 200 people from around the Jackson area attended, which is more than we've ever had. The team is pleased with the turnout and would like to thank anyone who showed up and supported us! It is much appreciated.

Kelly Waterfall, a college student that works for WKAR, also made an appearance at the movie night on Thursday and in our classroom on Friday. She has been conducting interviews on the students and filming around the classroom to show a segment on WKAR TV. She is also considering the possibility of making another documentary on the class and the team.

The cold weather finally hit and we had to move our cattle watering trough in from outside so we are still able to test our ROVs throughout the winter. One of the competition teams has finally finished their ROV and got to test it in the water yesterday.
