The Arizona State University team, Desert WAVE (Women in Autonomous Vehicle Engineering), was formed last August and they say they are one of just two all-female robotics teams competing in the world, along with a team at Texas A&M University.
The approximately one dozen teammates collaborated to build Phoenix, a robotic submarine, and Desert WAVE recently took the top prize in a national competition of college teams and then won third place last month at the RoboSub international competition in San Diego, placing behind teams from China and Russia.
“No one was expecting a rookie team to win third place in their first year,” said Whitney Foster, an engineering major at ASU and president of Desert WAVE. “It’s typically unheard of.”
