Making Own Robot

Students were encouraged to choose topics for projects based on their own interests. This student chose robots. He spent the first part of the project doing Internet research - How are robots used? When was the first robot created? How can I build my own robot? – and did a report and display. Through his Internet research, he found the Bristol Bot kits, ordered one, and followed the instructions to make a robot. After all this preparation, he realized one day that he could create his own robot. He used the remote from his Lego car to create a robot that lifted a pop can up and down.
