abstract:Take Wing (foaled 1938) was an American Thoroughbred gelding racehorse claimed for $3,000 St. Petersburg Times – July 5, 1942 and who would then earn more than $160,000 for new owner Clyde Troutt and set a new North American record for a mile and three-sixteenths on turf.
The son of a Berkeley civil engineering professor, Pister first built tiny self-propelled robots, such as a mechanical fly that could takewing and transmit data.
