[From the Memorial Gazette]

With only a few months’ preparation, the Western Wave robotics team returned from the International MATE ROV Competition with some impressive accomplishments. 

The competition in Alpena, Michigan, last month challenged students to use underwater robotics to learn and creatively apply scientific, engineering and technical skills to solving real-world problems. 

Western Wave is comprised of Grenfell Campus students Abbey Bryden, Evan Scott and Ben Ross, along with three College of the North Atlantic student members Priyanshu Gunput, Lucas Buckle, Corbin Rideout, alongside others who were unable to travel to Michigan, including John Nsionu, Aaron Kutin and Satyam Kalra.

Additionally, they travelled alongside Eastern Edge, the team shared between Memorial’s St. John’s and Marine Institute campuses, and their mentors.
