Did you know that marine debris is a major environmental problem. Marine debris is more than an eyesore - it's a serious pollution problem that affects the wildlife, habitat and water quality of all the world's oceans and waterways. It is also an issue that will require continued attention for years to come.

Kell Robotics is working to do something about it. We are designing and building a robotic system that will be used to recover debris from a selected range of aquatic environments.

We make a little progress every week but we have a long way to go. Perhaps we can develop a new sport, fishing for debris.

Watch the progress on our ROV - Remotely Operated Vehicle.

Here you will find a collection of graphics art, art, and video items.

We are the people that sit at the 'cool table'.

The Kell Robotics Team isn't about building robots or gadgets. It is about educating student, parents, and the community about what engineers and scientists really do and why their work is relevent. We do this by participating in a number of outreach and educational activities. We also get to use that little muscle between our ears and build a robot for competition.

Kell Robotics participated in the 2008 FIRST Robotics Championship Event in Atlanta.

Thousands of participants from all over the globe was in attendance.

Kell Robotics exhibited at the The 2008 Elementary State Science Olympiad held at Kennesaw State University on May 17, 2008.

There were an estimated 2,000 attendees passing by our booth. Elementary school students from across Georgia had an opportunity to drive the robots. SpeedPass not accepted !!

The Extraordinary Women Engineers project (EWEP) is a national initiative to encourage girls to consider pursuing a degree and subsequent career in engineering. The project is led by a coalition of the country’s engineering associations and the American Association of Engineering Societies (AAES), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and WGBH Educational Foundation.

Team mentor Derek Edwards and team captain Trey Chambers attended the 2007 I/ITSEC Conference in Orlando Florida. This conference had 18,000 attendees from around the world. Attendees met and discussed emerging simulation technologies and other engineering challenges.

Our team had a booth there where we presented our ROV program to industry executives and academics. There were several other high school groups from around the world exhibiting also.

Kell Robotics is bringing in pre-high school girls to spend time with the team during the FIRST Robotics build season. These girls get to spend a Saturday participating in the build under the mentorship of high school girls. The high school mentors are a combination of veterans and novices.
