”New Movie La Vida Robot “The irony was that after such a Herculean effort, their hopes of receiving college scholarships was hindered by the fact that the students were undocumented Mexicans living in the United States illegally. )))))))))))))) George Lopez heads to New Mexico for La Vida Robot “The movie is based on the true story of a robotics team from Carl Hayden Community High School in Phoenix, Ariz. that went to a national underwater robotics competition sponsored by NASA and the Office of Naval Research. The competition is held every year and attracts competitors from all over the United States and foreign countries as well. The teens, and their robot whom they affectionately named Stinky, bested a team from MIT that had an $5,000 sponsorship from ExxonMobil. The high schoolers from Phoenix had managed their project with $800 rounded up from local businesses. While college teams had access to the best materials available, the teens bought their supplies from a local building store, even resorting to the use of tampons to soak up a leak in their robots underwater housing. The irony was that after such a Herculean effort, their hopes of receiving college scholarships was hindered by the fact that the students were undocumented Mexicans living in the United States illegally.” George Lopez heads to New Mexico for La Vida Robot latinopost/articles/862/20131102/george-lopez-heads-to-new-mexico-for-la-vida-robot.htm
