In case you missed it: MFF member Dan Champoux, founder of GEKOT Robotics Inc., recently celebrated receiving a patent from the USPTO. The best part? The 10 other people - all FIRST Robotics students - that are named on the patent!
GEKOT is a celebration of their innovation, and Dan is on a mission to help more young kids get into STEM programs, now by helping to renovate the Webster Community Center in Pontiac into a vibrant, mixed-use community center that will be home to nonprofits, small businesses, and a maker space for local robotics teams!
Take a second to read the article in the comments to learn a bit more about Dan's commitment to helping develop Michigan's young talent, get inspired at the continued pace of progress here in Michigan, and maybe pitch in to support the work being done at the Webster Community Center ❤️

FATHOMWERX is buzzing as we reflect on the past two weekends of hosting the prestigious FIRST Robotics Regional competition at our state-of-the-art lab at the Port of Hueneme. It was an electrifying experience witnessing the brightest young minds converge to tackle real-world challenges through robotics and technology. The atmosphere was charged with innovation and determination as high school students embarked on the final step of their journey to design, build, and program robots that could go head-to-head in the regional competition.
The 2024 edition of the FIRST Robotics Competition brought into focus the critical importance of renewable energy solutions amidst the backdrop of a global energy crisis. With a theme of "CRESCENDO," students were challenged to explore the intersection of robotics and sustainability, igniting their passion for driving positive change in the world. From brainstorming sessions to late-night tinkering, each team comprising more than 35 students, alongside dedicated mentors including educators and industry professionals, epitomized the collaborative spirit essential for tackling complex issues.
At the heart of the competition lay the essence of teamwork and ingenuity. Students immersed themselves in the intricacies of robot design, mastering the art of problem-solving and critical thinking. From devising strategies to executing precision maneuvers on the field, every aspect of the competition underscored the transformative power of STEM education. FATHOMWERX served as not just a venue but a beacon of inspiration, nurturing the next generation of innovators poised to shape the future of technology and sustainability.
As we reflect on the success of the FIRST Robotics Regional competition, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to all participants for their unwavering dedication and tireless efforts. The impact of their endeavors extends far beyond the competition arena, leaving an indelible mark on our collective journey towards a brighter, more sustainable future. FATHOMWERX remains committed to fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration, empowering students to dream big and reach even greater heights. Together, let us continue to push the boundaries of what is possible!

If you are interested in #robotics and #opensource, then you will be interested to know about the new Open Source Robotics Alliance from Open Robotics. As the founder of Asimovo I am please to say that we are an inaugural member. More news will be announced in due course, but for now check out the post below.
We are really proud to announce that we have become members of the new Open Source Robotics Alliance (OSRA).
This is a new initiative from Open Robotics to strengthen the governance of their open-source robotics software projects and ensure the health of the Robot Operating System (ROS) Suite community for many years to come.
"We were really excited to be asked to be one of the first members of the new Open Source Robotics Alliance. We believe deeply in the power of open source and membership enables us to continue our strong support of the ROS ecosystem" Christine Fraser, Founder & CEO Asimovo
In addition to continued support of the ROS ecosystem membership also gives organisations a chance to participate in the technical oversight and governance of the ROS Suite projects.
We encourage others working in Robotics to join and add their support
