The United States Patent and Trademark Office has patented a robotics remote that the Westlake High School robotics group in Austin has recently developed, according to statesman.com.

The three high school juniors reportedly worked day and night to develop “the chapR,” a device that can be used to operate robotic controllers; in lieu of having to plug in devices to a computer, students can plug the controller into their Bluetooth-ready device. Akshay Prakash, Rachel Gardner, and Ben Gorr applied for the patent in February 2014 and received approval from the patent office this month.
