Fine Structure

There is one thing that I enjoy posting about almost as much as neutrinos, and that's team-based engineering challenges! Caltech's admissions blogs include a running account of a student in ME 72: Engineering Design Lab which hosted a robot water-based ball-collecting challenge recently. This last post covers the challenge itself with some careful reflection on the time spent preparing the robot.
