Advising the team is college physics instructor Pat Keefe. Larsen, who has been with the team for several years, won the MVP award for product presentation. Larsen and Jordan are now teaching youth sum- mer camp courses at the col- lege on robotics and video game design. Lazarus Indus- tries will participate in the Astoria Regatta parade in August, showcasing Lazarus and promoting involve- ment in science, technology, engineering and mathemat- ics. Some of the team mem- bers are working on creating an educational video series outlining waterprooﬁ ng methods they have devel- oped, how the subsystems of Lazarus work and how they communicate with each other, and how to build an advanced robot on a shoe- string budget.

The excessive speed acti- vated a special “derail switch” that’s designed to avoid a catastrophe if the drawbridge is open as a train approaches, she said. That sent the locomotive and baggage car and four pas- senger cars off the track, she said. Eight passenger cars and the rear locomotive remained upright on the tracks. Some of the 267 passen- gers suffered only minor inju- ries in the derailment in the town of Steilacoom. Some of the injured passengers were treated at a local hospital and released. After investigators deter- mined the derailment was caused by human error, the train’s engineer was sus- pended, Graham said. “The safety of our passen- gers and employees remains our number one priority,” she said.
