We’re hosting a competition!
WELCOME
We are Team 4004, the M.A.R.S. (Muskegon Area Robotics Students) Rovers. We are a FIRST Robotics Team based in Muskegon, Michigan. Each year we are given the parameters for a game to be played with our robot and we have six weeks to design, build and program the robot to play the game with others from around the state. But in those six weeks we do that and so much more.
Intake prototype completed and tested. Shows promising results. Next step is to mount the pistons for the arms and motor for the rollers.
MARS has a great problem! We have so many new students this year that we do not have enough chairs for everyone to sit down together at the same time.
Do you (or does your business) have any office chairs that you don’t need anymore? Are you thinking of upgrading?
MARS Rovers would love to take them off your hands and help ease our growing pains.
Please comment here, private message us, or contact one of our mentors.
Thank you so much to Mr. B’s Restaurant for your incredible generosity! Your support for our community and MARS Rovers 4004 is greatly appreciated.
Please, everyone, go support Mr. B’s on Tuesday and everyday!

Thank you Muskegon Community College Sturrus Technology Center for providing the opportunity and the space to host this event. It was the perfect place to have everyone gather while watching the kickoff to the 2019 FIRST Robotics season DESTINATION: DEEP SPACE. Thank you also for extending a special offer to all area robotics teams to use the FabLab for their robot builds.MCC is proud to host the First Robotics kick-off event this morning. We have around 200 of the coolest, upcoming engineers and technicians. We are excited to hear the challenge announcement!!
The gang decided they needed to test how viable last years robot would be for this game. Have to say it does surprisingly well.
You heard it here, basket weaving….but in space.
