Underwater robotics at Fernan Lake
Matthew Moler, 11, sat at a table, welding wires to a mini motor inside a film cannister. The air smelled of burning metal and loud, industrial sounds filled the small work room. Once the motor is complete, Moler will waterproof it and attach it to the robot he made.
