Team CajunBot would like to express its gratitude to President Authement for the help he has provided for our team. Without his help, our project would not have been a success. Dr. Arun Lakhotia, our project leader, has written a letter to Dr. Authement on our blog: "President Authement, Thank You".

Robert Trahan made CajunBot-II possible. He contributed the Jeep even before we had the budget to get anything else. He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Here are some pictures of Robert with the team. Read about our memories of Robert Trahan. |
