AUVSI RoboSub Competition with SolidWorks

I do love robots and when robots go underwater to compete, amazing things happen. Congratulations to all the teams from around the world that participated in the 2011 AUVSI RoboSub competition in San Diego last week. This year's winner is École de Technologie Supérieure, of Montreal, Canada. Their SolidWorks models were amazing and so was team SONIA's perseverance.
