Robot Art Exhibit

COCOA BEACH -- - They used engineering skills to create machines that snared top honors in robotics competitions across the country.
Now, 12 students on Space Coast FIRST Robotics Team 233 are using robotic designs and parts -- and a brush-wielding robot -- to create "bot art."
"They are celebrating what is beautiful in technology," said Nancy Yasecko, a team mentor and the group's artistic coach, along with artist Patricia McCarren Jones.
Team members always viewed the robots they created as works of art, Yasecko said. During the exhibit opening, they will demonstrate that robots also can be art workers.
To create some of the art, students loaded their robotic partner's brush with paint, then guided it with remote controls to create abstract works.
