Lost FLorida Tech robot in the Indian River near Melbourne Fl Hi: I am posting this for the students of Florida Tech University in Melbourne Fla. It seems that they lost one of their robots during an experiment in the Indian River area in Melborne Fla. The Robot is called the Bluefin, The blue fin 12-foot long, 21in diameter, and is 400lb bright yellow, torpedo shaped vehicle. The blue fin was lost near the launch area of front street off route 192. If found the bluefin is not dangerous its batteries should be long dead by now. This are the same robots searching for the Malaysian airliner. If found or any information on this please contact Dr. Stephan Wood at 321-305- 8908 or swood@fit.edu. Thanks

This was just posted over the weekend so I guess there still looking."Students made some bad decisions", they used a pinger in an area where there is a lot of boat traffic instead of an auto bouy.
