Above is the picture of an "American" team, Team THOR:

Team THOR is a union of two robotics laboratories: the Robots and Mechanisms Lab (RoMeLa) at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception Lab (GRASP) at the University of Pennsylvania. The team consists of roughly 35 official members composed of graduate students, undergraduate students, and post docs under the guidance of Professor Dennis Hong at UCLA and Professor Daniel Lee at UPenn.

How about that team from Florida, Team IHMC? Well I looked through all the linked profiles (there are a number that are NOT linked) and not a negro among them. Now it's certainly possible that there is one or more not linked, I'm not motivated to find out.

The significance here is that while other groups are doing this advanced stuff, we, black folks collectively are doing what?
