Unmanned Surface Vehicles


I shot this photo of a group of young scientists testing their unmanned surface vehicles made from balloons and foam during the Robots in the Roses Research Fair at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey on Thursday May 10, 2012. The assignment created a challenging situation because of the distance between the robots and the students was in most cases quite large. I was hoping to capture the interaction between the young scientists and the things they were building and spent some time looking for these elements.

I was happy when I found this group of the kids testing their unmanned surface vehicles before racing them in The Plunge. To clean up the busy background and create a more interesting frame I jumped up on a chair and held my camera over the kids. I am glad the chair did not break! (Photo David Royal/ Monterey County Herald)
