From Mr Otaka and Robotics Team:  We concluded our Seaperch season last weekend (Saturday 4/12) at the State Seaperch Competition at the US Coast Guard Base on Sand Island. We had two teams representing Wheeler: Team 1 (Henry McCoy, Jose Reyes, Vincent Kim, Nolan Drewke) and Team 2 (Kegan Thompson, James Wunderlich). Our students did a great job on both the Obstacle Course and Mission Course. Team 1 also had to overcome an issue of a waterlogged motor, making repairs in the middle of the event.

Sadly, we were not able to place this year. But students got to learn a lot about issues of buoyancy and drag, and they picked up skills in waterproofing, soldering, and driving an underwater ROV.

Here are a few pictures of the teams in action.

Thank you, Mr Otaka
