Today MARS, Tomorrow the World!
The M.A.R.S. mission starts here!
The M.A.R.S. mission starts here! At Muskegon Area Robotics Students, it isn't just about the robot. It's about the team... It's about YOU. We rely on each other to turn raw ideas into heavyweight robots. Along the way, the crew masters CAD, heavy-duty machining, programming, and real-world problem-solving.
M.A.R.S. is the hardest fun you'll ever have. Your parents will see you hone lifelong skills like problem-solving and critical thinking. You'll see the 120-pound robot you build tearing up head-to-head 3v3 matches using a combination of automation and your drive team's lightning-fast reflexes. Don't worry, your pit crew gets at least 10 whole minutes to bend things back into shape before the next match..."
Teaching the next generation of engineers, one robot at a time.
