Generation ROC: Harley School robotics students invited to NASA
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Armed with aspirations as high flying as the moon, three students from The Harley School have spent months designing, testing, and going back to the drawing board to make a robot that can serve astronauts from the lunar surface. 'We built a robot that goes to the surface of the moon, it drops off and comes out of lock box, and then it takes a picture,' explains sophomore Sol Sohn. 'You can drive it, you can control it, we even added in AI technologies to add self-driving. We can also take detailed pictures and details. Something you might find from a satellite.' Sol, Charlie Clark and Henry Winchester participated in the NASA HUNCH Design & Prototype Challenge. The program challenges high school students to come up with ideas to advance space exploration and potentially have their creations sent up to the International Space Station. The three sophomores spent most of their free periods working together with that goal in mind and to earn an invitation to place their prototype in front of actual NASA engineers. 'We all have a background in coding. Sol is very good at Lennox and designing apps. Charlie's very good at Arduino. I'm more of a python and things that run on a computer guy. So we kind of filled into the roles and we all did well in those roles,' Henry says of working as a team. They did so well that they got their invitation to fly down to Houston for the program's final review showcase. They say they enjoyed seeing what other highschoolers around the nation did to fit the parameters of the challenge, since the robot needed to weigh no more than 15 ounces and fit into a storage container that is four inches wide, six inches deep, and five inches tall. 'One of the most valuable things was between the feedback we got from actual NASA engineers, but also especially a very important part is going around to everyone else's project and seeing how other people solve the same problems that we encountered,' says Charlie. 'You could see all these cool, great ideas, and you could see some similarities to what we initially designed. It was cool to see how they all worked, and it was cool to see that it would've worked. That was gratifying to see, like hey that design wasn't completely fruitless,' adds Henry. All three say they have every intention to go for it again next year and now have ideas on how to make their creation even better. 'I found out that we could just make it more simple to use as well as how to do that, because then you have actual people instead of just thinking what would somebody like but then that might not be correct,' says Sol.

'Wanted to make flying robots, not...': Developer upset as Ukraine uses his open-source code to make deadly drones
A 20-year-old open-source code powered Ukraine's Operation Spider Web that destroyed a third of Russian bombers that were hidden miles away from Ukraine. The creators of the code expressed surprise over the matter read more As Ukraine's Operation Spider Web rocked Russia, it has been revealed that open-source software used by hobbyist drones powered the attack that wiped out a third of Russia's strategic long-range bombers. The attack that took place on Sunday afternoon was seen as one of the most daring and technically coordinated attacks in modern warfare. In broad daylight, explosions rocked air bases in Belaya, Olenya, and Ivanovo in Russia, which are hundreds of miles from Ukraine. However, the Operation , which took over a year of planning, was carried out using a nearly 20-year-old piece of open-source drone autopilot software called ArduPilot. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The original creator of ArduPilot expressed shock over the matter, recalling how the drone company just started out of a basement. 'That's ArduPilot, launched from my basement 18 years ago. Crazy,' Chris Anderson said in a comment on LinkedIn below footage of the attack. 'Just wanted to make flying robots': Anderson Anderson eventually took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and tagged his co-creators, Jordi Muñoz and Jason Short, in a post about the attack. 'Not in a million years would I have predicted this outcome. I just wanted to make flying robots,' Short said in a reply to Anderson. 'Ardupilot-powered drones just took out half the Russian strategic bomber fleet.' 18 years after @Jrdmnz @jason4short and I created ArduPilot, here it is destroying large parts of the Russian air force. Crazy — Chris Anderson (@chr1sa) June 1, 2025 ArduPilot is an open-source software system that takes its name from the Arduino hardware systems it was originally designed to work with. The work on the source code began in 2007 when Anderson launched the website and cobbled together a UAV autopilot system out of a Lego Mindstorms set. DIYdrones eventually became a home for UAV enthusiasts, and for two years, Anderson's Lego UAV took flight. According to 404 Media, Muñoz and Anderson eventually founded 3DR, an early consumer drone company, and released the earliest versions of the ArduPilot software in 2009. Despite its popularity, the software system remains free to use and can be modified for various purposes. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Wow. Ardupilot powered drones just took out half the Russian strategic bomber fleet. — Jason Short (@jason4short) June 1, 2025 'ArduPilot is a trusted, versatile, and open source autopilot system supporting many vehicle types: multi-copters, traditional helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, boats, submarines, rovers, and more,' the project's website reads. 'The source code is developed by a large community of professionals and enthusiasts. New developers are always welcome!' Interestingly, the website analytics from 2023 showed that the project was very popular in both Ukraine and Russia since the start of the war.
