turned a tote got into a robot, not litterly

My son never got into the mini bike craze, unfortunately his allergies have directed him to " indoor sports "
I sold my 535, thanks Jim -hope your enjoying it, and bought a VEX robot kit.

I figured this would make for a nice farther son project but he had the thing completely assembled and programed before I even got home from work, like I could have helped with the programing anyway :blink:

What do you think though, not bad for a 7 th grader?

That's awesome.

Not all kids enjoy these mini bikes like their dads do.

My hats off to him, I couldn't figure that stuff out either.

That's looks cool, another great project would be 1/10 rc cars and trucks
I built and collected the for years , I used to love opening up a new Tamiya kit just to see all the parts lol

very cool! He needs to take it back apart and show you how to put it together instead of the other way around...lol.

Thanks guys, were really proud of him. He has always been strong with the software side of this but I am glad to see he's getting some hands on figuring motors and gear ratios.

This was a kit. The next one we're going to build is going to be customized to mount a paintball gun to. If all goes as planed it will be able to track and fire on movement automatically, then possibly advance as they retreat. :2guns:

He built the claw bot. I teach robotics and use VEX every day.
