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.
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.

NASA and a Game Studio Create 3D Mars Base Simulator

You can immerse yourself in Mars in 3D with the new game Project Eagle by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Blackbird Interactive.Yesterday the team met another family who has twin boys that require assistance with walking. They own one electric jeep that’s not functional at the moment that we’re going to fix for them. We will also modify it to be a joystick drive since they don’t have the strength and coordination to turn the steering wheel.
We are looking for donations to purchase a second jeep for them and then do the same modifications to it so that each of the boys will be able to ride their own jeep soon. If you’d like to help out please contact us or send us a message through messenger.
These guys are so adorable and happy. We can’t wait to see their faces when they each have their own cars.
Thank you to our sponsors!
