SHEBOYGAN PRESS

OOSTBURG - The highlight of the year for Oostburg robotics team member Caleb Krueger is seeing various subgroups of the team, who at first work separately on different parts of their robot, put all of the components of their work together.

“My favorite part is watching the ROV float through the water. It’s magical almost,” said Krueger, a senior. ROV stands for remotely operated vehicle.

Each year, students create a business structure for the team and work together to design and build an underwater robot. This year, the work of their 35-person group paid off: After winning the regional Marine Advanced Technology and Education (MATE) competition in Milwaukee in May, the team headed to an international competition held in Tennessee this week...

Despite weather and COVID challenges, organizer considers Mile of Music a success
WBAY

APPLETON - Organizers with Mile of Music say they are cancelling Sunday’s final set out of precaution due to severe weather in the area.

Event organizers announced the cancellation late Sunday afternoon, saying storms were expected to reach the area during the timeframe of the show.

The final set, called “A Song Before We Go” is a tradition for the event.

However, A Song Before We Go will return to Lawrence Chapel in 2022 as the closing event.

“Having 50% of the festival outside this weekend, is really the first year in quite some time that we’ve had any significant weather. We kind of thought, it’ll probably be the year that it happens, and sure enough, it’s the year that it happens,” Dave Willems, Mile of Music Curator, said...
