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.
Darrell the barrel stopped by the shop last night for a surprise visit. He posed for pictures with the team and some of the students before checking out the shop and all the cool equipment and machines that the students at M.A.R.S. get to learn to use. He even got some time in playing with last year’s robot.
Thanks to the City of Muskegon for bringing Darrell by last night. We enjoyed meeting him.
Words to remember and live by…
