Its not exactly as we designed it - we had a bit of trouble getting the Lego Digital Design software to do exactly what we wanted.

Spring 08 Robot Track Meet
Morris Yachts
Fishboy
Thanks to the Heimbold Foundation for grants that allowed the purchase of robotics equipment.
The adventures of robotic teams associated with mentor Edward Fielding featuring kids with a thirst for learning, science, engineering, programing, building, robots, technology and generally workin' the noggin.
“If you're not making mistakes, you're not taking risks, and that means you're not going anywhere. The key is to make mistakes faster than the competition, so you have more chances to learn and win.” - John W. Holt, Jr.
OUR LATEST CHALLENGE
MoonBots - A Google Lunar X PRIZE LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Challenge” The contest will challenge small teams comprised of children and adults to design, program, and construct robots that perform simulated lunar missions similar to those required to win the $30 million Google Lunar X PRIZE, a private race to the Moon designed to enable commercial exploration of space while engaging the global public.

Why Robotics?
"The exponential growth of information has led to an overwhelming amount of things that students need to know, and we as educators need to do a better job of helping students make these cross-discipline connections, preparing them to leave school and move into the new economy. Research shows that students relate better to current examples of technology, such as robotics, than they do to historical examples, like Newton's apple. Kids want to know, 'Why do I need to know this and why is this important to me today?' "It also helps that kids think robots are fun," Robin Shoop, Director of the Robotics Academy, Carnegie Mellon University.
