NPR has a blog post about the VGo robot pictured here at Memorial Field. From the story:
Rolled out (literally) in partnership with Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Center for Telehealth, the robot, called VGo, looks like a 4-foot-tall popsicle stick on wheels, with a screen and camera up top. It allows a brain specialist from miles away to help certified athletic trainers figure out if a player might have a concussion, and what should happen next.

Tweeting that he has committed to play football for Dartmouth is wide receiver Emmanuel Soto, a receiver from Fort Lauderdale's University School.Between the recruiting sites and news clips, it seems that he committed to Air Force Academy as a senior last spring and then had a change of heart while in Colorado. According to ESPN, which assigned him three stars, he had quite a list of offers including Purdue, Hawaii, Tulane and Central Florida. (LINK)
Earlier this week Soto Tweeted, "I believe in second chances. Stay tuned to find out where I will verbally commit to play football for the next four years!" On Wednesday he was back on Twitter: "Officially Committed to play football for the next four years at Dartmouth College!"
Soto is 6-foot, 6-1 or 6-2 depending on which service you believe and runs a 4.5 or a 4.85, again depending on which site you trust. Find his impressive highlight video HERE and a story where he mentions an offer from Cincinnati HERE.
