Ten-year-old wins first place at a university-level robotics competition April 2

The fifth-grader who made a fully-autonomous robot with Arduino.

The phrase “Are you smarter than a fifth-grader?” has an entirely new meaning when talking about Davis Fortenberry. Davis, age 10, designed and built a fully autonomous robot using an Arduino (in part) which won first place at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Southeastern competition, a university-level robotics competition. At first, some competitors objected because they thought he must be showing someone else’s work.
