The parents of a two-year-old Minnesota boy who needed an expensive power wheelchair turned to an unlikely source for help - a high school robotics team. Farmington High School's robotics team created a functioning wheelchair for Cillian Jackson by retrofitting a Power Wheels riding toy. The 'Rogue Robotics' team replaced electrical components in the toy, mounted a seat from a bicycle carrier and made a joystick on a 3D printer to complete the transformation. the robotics team wrote in a post on social mediaWhile Cillian's parents were incredibly grateful for the efforts of the team, the feeling was mutual. Farmington robotics team member Nicole Cash said, 'I think we won here more than we do in our competitions.'
