Students Invent Robot For Muscular Dystrophy Patient |
When Nick Torrance’s muscular dystrophy prevented him from opening his locker, students Micah Stuhldreher and Wyatt Smrcka had the perfect solution. They designed a robotic, automatic locker opener for Torrance, and received a $1,500 grant to develop the same technology for the military. How cool! Tweet: http://clicktotweet.com/3E72X
