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.
Thanks to the Muskegon Channel for covering our event and for this recap video.

We need a DJ for the robotics event next Friday and Saturday. Ours just had a conflict develop and can’t make it. If you know anyone with DJ abilities please let me know, let them know, get us connected. Thanks.
Yesterday one of our great FIRST Robotics friend, mentor and colleague was taken from us very unexpectedly. Ken Platteshore you will be missed dearly. You leave a large void in our community that we will struggle to fill.
Team 4004 and all of M.A.R.S. sends their love and prayers to Ken’s family. Rest in peace friend.
Gotta love our amazing sponsors! Thanks to Integricoat for a quick half day turn around on our parts! Now it’s time to assemble it all back together.
With 9 days left to build the robot our lathe broke…!!! Not good at all. Anybody have a small one Wer could borrow for a week or two? We’re obviously in the market for a new one now… Any leads are appreciated.
Consider helping us out even if you can just be there for one day that would be fantastic. Most jobs require very little skill and put you right in the middle of an amazing event.
There are a few more technically demanding jobs too that we need to fill like DJ, video operator etc.
If you are connected with a volunteer organization or know someone who is we would appreciate a warm introduction.
Volunteers can sign up at www.firstinspires.org/ways-to-help/volunteer/how-to-register make sure to choose the Muskegon event on March 14-16.
Thank you.
Thank you to our sponsors!
