Poor high school beats MIT in Robotics Contest!

] It's a cheap but astoundingly functional
] underwater robot capable of recording sonar pings and
] retrieving objects 50 feet below the surface. The four
] teenagers who built it are all undocumented Mexican
] immigrants who came to this country through tunnels or
] hidden in the backseats of cars. They live in sheds and
] rooms without electricity. But over three days last
] summer, these kids from the desert proved they are among
] the smartest young underwater engineers in the country.

Wired has an awesome 5 page article about 4 illegal, former gang member high school students who were taught engineering and came in #1, beating MIT's team, in a national underwater robotics competition.

Oh yes, we must stop the flow of these horrible Mexicans, that pick our fruit, clean our toilets, and hack awesome robots.
