The MDJH ROV team participated in the MATE NL Regional ROV competition last week on May 1 and May 2 at the Marine Institute on Ridge Road. Our school was very well represented with the team placing 5th place out of 16 teams. The participating students were Eva Churchill, Arnav Ganesh, Dheeraj Lokireddy, Brooklyn Malone, Jordan Melkowitz, Calvin Peretti, Bridget Smith, Krisztian Bajzak, and Nathan Stanley. Things were going swimmingly with their custom 3D printed hydraulic claw until the team ran into a technical issue with their camera in the last heat. Throughout the day students were also given a chance to tour the MI campus, including the monstrous real ROVs on display, and an exploration of future career possibilities.

Way to go Grizzly Robotics!
