Project's robot moves rubber
balls in the competition.

Right: Troy High School stu-
dents Laura Fletcher and
Mike Stout check the arm on
their robot with CRW engi-
neer and team mentor Jon
Wagner.

She coordinated the ordering and dis-
tribution of parts, made sure team
members conformed to program rules
and costs, and worked with student-
led construction teams on whatever
needed to be done.
In the competition itself, each robot
works in alliance with two other
schools' entries to perform a series of
tasks while fending off opposing robots.
The Manhattan Project took third
place in the Great Lakes Regional •
competition, along with a "cooperti-
tion" award.
At 'the Orlando nationals, which
took place April 6-8, the Manhattan
Project came in 28th out of 268
teams.

Fletcher is thrilled with the result
And she's pleased with the skills she
has developed, including the ability
express an opinion, run a meeting a
create a robot.
CRW mentor Erick Rudaitis says
core group of FIRST students will
likely be taken on as summer intern
at GM.
Fletcher is considering a college
major of mechanical engineering, w
a minor in architecture. "But I'm n
limiting myself," she says.
Meanwhile it's on to the next ch
lenge — planning a May weekend
