First Robotics Champs
Division By Zero (Team 229) took first place in the Long Island Regional of the First Robotics Competition in Hempstead, N.Y. Division by Zero is made up of students from Massena High School and Salmon River High School and mentored by students in Clarkson University's nationally recognized Student Projects for Engineering Experience and Design (SPEED) Program. The team worked together to build a robot, named Afterthought, that competed in a sports-like game called Rack 'n' Roll.

The team is now setting their sights on the National Robotics Competition in Atlanta, Ga. Regional competitions are held all over the United States and in three other countries. Award winners from each regional are invited to a championship event consisting of more than 300 teams and 25, 000 students in Atlanta, competing for the championship title. Most of the MAE students in the team are from the Integrated Design Course (ME445/446). (Click here for photo)
