Go to Post Whether we realize it or not, we've all been touched by the works of Dr. Kamen - through his TED talks, through his research and scores of publications in pediatric oncology, or perhaps more directly through his daughter. What an incredible life, what an incredible legacy. - Taylor [more]

I am so proud of what these kids have done. We are using a modified version team 1114's kitbot on steroids. We only modified it to fit our chassis size! Check the video out!

Awesome! I hope your kids took that as a big accomplishment. One thing I would recommend is getting that bot on carpet. You will notice it turns and drives much differently. Also, try weighing it down as much as possible to replicate your competition machine, then have students practice driving.

All of this.

Congratulations on a good start!
