Engineers at UCLA have developed a small hopping robot that moves like a frog, using twisting elastic rods as its propulsion mechanism. The design stores energy in the elastic rods, which twist to launch the robot into jumps. The work points to new ways of building agile robots that can hop over obstacles where wheels or legs struggle.

Wheeling University's men's golf team sits in sixth place after the opening day of the Sunnehanna tournament, with Femoen leading the squad's scoring.
