Wired 13.04: La Vida Robot
3/31/2005 – 9:49 am
A well written article that explroes the human side of the undocumented Mexican immigrants who beat an MIT team in an underwater robotics competition.
Even though Lorenzo had never heard of MIT, the team from Cambridge scared him, too. There were 12 of them - six ocean-engineering students, four mechanical engineers, and two computer science majors. Their robot was small, densely packed, and had a large ExxonMobil sticker emblazoned on the side. The largest corporation in the US had kicked in $5,000. Other donations brought the MIT team’s total budget to $11,000.
