A team of students at Rutgers University have a project underway in which they’re attempting a robotic crossing of the Atlantic. You can find out more here:

We have customers at Rutgers who order boards from us. I really don’t know if this is a project we’ve got boards in or not… not that I really care, to be honest. There’s something else going on here that I think is particularly cool
Not only is this research project full of ‘first time in the world’ chutzpah, and loaded with real-time tracking so that their success or failure is in full, realtime public view, but – best of all – the team looks to be 50% female.
Robotics and engineering disciplines NEED more women in their ranks, without doubt. I’m cheering for the Rutgers team. You should too.
