Re: My daughter is very interested in robotics and I have a question

I got mine when I was in 4th grade. I did some simple stuff but I didn't really have anything to work towards (except my Santa Photo bot- a drivetrain with a disposable camera that could snap pictures(that I never finished)) so after a while I lost interest. I was really suprised at how easy it was to write simple programs with the software in the kit. Also a remote is good for younger kids becuase they don't have to program it for it to move. Then I got interested in FLL which I have been involved in for 4 years and will be a mentor next year. So while having a kit is good and fun being in FLL is really fun becuase there are tasks to accomplish.
