We have used the Robust Median Statistic (RoMS) to examine a set of six open clusters to look for low amplitude pulsating variable stars. The clusters examined were NGC 225, NGC 559, NGC 6811, NGC 6940, NGC 7142, and NGC 7160. Two pieces of information will be presented. First we will discuss the effectiveness of the RoMS in providing a probability of variability for stars in our sample. In addition, we will present light curves and other information for the new variable stars and suspected variable stars found in each cluster. Data for this project were collected with the 0.4-m David Derrick Telescope of the Orson Pratt Observatory on the BYU campus and with the 1.85-m Plaskett Telescope of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria, Canada.
