I like robots

Our friends over at Buyolympia have this really cool Create Your Own Robot set. Every kid should get one of these this Christmas. I want two.

It also reminded me that it’s FIRST Lego League time again. FLL is a stellar program that gets middle school kids excited about science and technology by building autonomous Lego robots which need to complete a complex challenge in a short period of time.
