Meet The Annihilators, a team of young robotics engineers (ages 14 to 18) who are about to compete in their first-ever competition using a remotely operated vehicle they built from scratch. Their challenge will be to lift submerged cylinders representing shipwrecks from the bottom of a pool before time runs out. How did they fare? Watch the videos below to find out.
