How four illegal immigrant high schoolers went head to head with M.I.T. and other top colleges in the national underwater bot championship and didn't finish last.
I woulda beat you both to the punch but I was too lazy to scan the article out of the print wired.
I second what Ned says about those dudes not getting in to school, even in arizona. Even illegals pay sales tax so it's not like they're not contributing anything to society.

I woulda beat you to this one, but I lost the address and deleted the email in which it came. Apparantly, one of my fraternity brothers is in an Ocean Engineering class with some of the underwater ROV team and they were grumbling about the article because they got the most points in the actual technical challenge. It really is a crying shame that the epilogue of the article is about how none of those kids can afford to go to college anywhere, even at the Arizona state school.
