The Cool Robot is a solar power, autonomous robot that was developed by a team of students at Dartmouth Thayer School in conjunction with Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL). In 2005 the Cool Robot was tested at Greenland Summit. The last two years have been spent in implementing the robot and redesigning its solar panel box. Now it is time to test Cool Robot and its improvement as it makes it way back to Greenland for its 2nd visit.

Arrival to Summit
Well we have just arrived at Summit camp! I guess I better tell you who we are, there are 4 members in our group: Ben Walker - electrical engineer for the robot, Jim Lever - leader, Alden Adolph - scientist/engineer, and myself Allison Morlock - mechanical engineer for the robot and blogger. We are currently hanging out in the big house getting uses to high altitudes and drinking our fluids. There is currently another solar robot here, Grover, that we are going to try and get a photo shoot with the Cool Robot sometime later today as they are leaving tomorrow.
