ROBOTIC RIVALRY: While their robotic creation chews
its way to victory in the first round of Robot Rivals on the DIY
Network last April, the Rochester team of Geoff Dawson ’07, Tom Kollar
’04, and Eric Lunin ’04 gather to watch the debut. The show
challenged teams of college students from around the country to design and
build machines that could perform a specific function—in this case
cut grass without a traditional mower’s blade or lawn trimmer’s
spinning wire—within a day, and then face off in head-to-head competition.
