By Duane Bonifer

Brenna Hayes of Liberty, Ky., learned how hard it can be to control a robot. Even when a human plays the role.

Hayes was one of 29 rising ninth-graders from 14 Kentucky counties who spent three days -- Sunday, June 14, through Tuesday, June 16 -- at Lindsey Wilson College as part of the Rogers Explorers program.

On Tuesday morning, Hayes worked with Charlotte Burgard of Laurel County on a robot-simulation project. Based on a presentation LWC Instructor of Energy Technology Douglas Keaton gave at a conference about offshore oil drilling, students were grouped in pairs and charged with repairing a leak as a remote-control robot. One student wore a blindfold while the other student gave instructions on how to fix the leak.
