OCEAN SCIENCE Robot Boats
ACROSS
THE SEA,
EVENTUALLY
Scout, the autonomous boat that taught a
group of neighborhood friends how to make,
tinker, and set their sights high.
MIKE FLANIGAN
grew up building
treehouses,
catapults, and other
2×4 contraptions
in Tiverton, Rhode
Island, where he and
his friends launched
the autonomous
boat Scout on its
2013 transatlantic
attempt. Mike now
lives in San Diego
and works with his
friends on robots full
time, but still loves a
good old-fashioned
2×4 project.
