The Ham Radio Spirit Lives — in Robots?

From the ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio. (People that help new amateur radio operators (hams) are called Elmers. )

Quote:

Competitive robotics — a new type of Elmering.

I want to tell you about an area of technology that I am involved in that’s growing in popularity among high school kids today. Just as ham radio provided opportunities for the youth of earlier generations to learn about electronics, electricity and physics, today hobby robotics seems to catch the attention of kids.

He goes on to talk about his experiences with FIRST and Team1675. Pretty cool article.
