Public invited to robotics demonstration

FROM STAFF REPORTS ---- The Record Eagle Tue Apr 03, 2012, 07:18 AM EDT

TRAVERSE CITY — Traverse City West Senior High School's robotics team will show off its creations and give the public a chance to take the controls.

The team invites people to come to Boardman Lake behind the Traverse Area District Library on Wednesday from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. The public will have an opportunity to drive the team's basketball-shooting robot that participated in recent FIRST Robotics competitions. The team also will test a remotely operated underwater robot in the lake.

For more information, contact Mike Wilson at 632-9896 or wilsonmi@tcaps.net.
