Team Description:
Our team was started during our school modulars class. Our team is made up of four boys and three girls. The teacher, Mrs. Stalder, is our coach. There are four teams in our school so we learned to work together quickly. The girls were usually working on posters or the project. The boys were usually working on the robot. We would switch at certain times to check work. During the course of robotics we learned that teamwork is very important to everything we do.

Brief Submission Description:
The Wonder Walk is an improved version of a walker. It has a robotic, telescopic arm on each side of the walker. On the top of the walker is a control box with an on and off button, a life-alert button, and an electronic level. When the senior citizen in unbalanced the electronic level notices it and the arm on the corresponding side extends to push up and rebalance the walker so that it is level. It has to be bought in one unit, not an attachment to a walker.
