Newton Kid's Robot Wars We like to participate in robot competitions.
There are many kinds of workshops on robots. Tufts University runs a weekend workshop series with LEGO RoboLab.

Are you in the Competition Mode? If you are, please join us:
http://newtonkids.ning.com/group/lego "Robotic Man" We are building a robot with legs, but it turns out very difficult.We used the big wheel to push two arms, which are also the legs.The hardest thing is to keep the robot stand up. We slow down the motors to make the robot walk slow, otherwise it would fall. We learned that we need a lot of time to "program". Your challenge to design: - a "robotic cat" that is afraid of a "light"
- a "robotic cart" that can pick up your sox
- a "robotic arm" that can shoot a ball into the basket
and more. See what we have done at:
