Brighton High's best and brightest are building robot playmates at the GM Proving Grounds. Play ball!
Excerpt:
"The Brighton High School robotics team doesn't step into the spotlight often, but that's starting to change.
The team's Frisbee-throwing robot squared off with Zeke the Wonder Dog during a recent halftime performance at the Brighton girls varsity basketball game, according to the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus ( http://bit.ly/1jXduFN ). The student-designed robot threw Frisbees that were caught by Zeke, who performs during Michigan State University games.
The robot is controlled by a joystick and computer, and it can roll as fast as someone walking quickly.
The 30-member team has also plunged into its next project, which is designing a robot that can throw exercise balls through targets."
