Re: My daughter is very interested in robotics and I have a question
I'd highly recommend buying a Mindstorm kit for your daughter. Its a very easy to understand programing interfeace, when you use the mindstorm program. If she thinks it is "too easy", you can then move her up to programming in RoboLab. By the time she is 9, you will have agreat FLL programmer.
From experience, FLL is a great program. Even if you don't have much experience with robotics, you can coach a team. My dad got pulled into it and he has no knowledge of computers or anything of the nature and our team when to states the first year. If you can find a group of kids and you get the support the local school district, go ahead and start up a team, there's no reason you or your daughter can't get involved now.
