just to give you guys a idea of how far these kids have come. at the close of 2008 Championships.....these kids knew NOTHING about inventor besides...draw it and that i would put it into inventor for em.
Now they have ON THEIR OWN designed a crab drive.
I originally started this project so the kids could get some GREAT engineering experience. They have self taught Inventor and i am now greatly encouraged for the 2009 season. This comforts me as the mentors have decided to take a step back, and push the kids forward for the 2009 season
thanks for the comments!! keep em rollin!
