Today we got up and headed to Seabotix to meet with Don Rodocker and his team. We last visited Seabotix in fall of 2003 and the following summer four boys from Falcon Robotics beat MIT in the MATE national ROV championships. Now Seabotix is a multi-million dollar corporation and now we are hoping to repeat the pattern of success we had in the past. Its like we have come full circle.
We also visited with the Ibotics team, who are based at the University California San Diego. The team leader gave us a tour of their lab and some tips on building an AUV. He also gave us some tips about the competition. The pics of the days tours are the posting the day before this. Please use the cool Iris 3-D photo wall to check out the pics. We are currently getting ready to head the beach so we can do a barbecue and discuss the days events. Tomorrow we head to San Diego City College for a visit with their team.
