Youth Robotics Engineering

So.... O-town has been programming a Robot to go finds a ball, pick it up, go find the Container and put it in the container.... If it works, It backs up and Dances.

I have a hard time changing the Batteries in the Fire alarms, so I think it's kinda Cool

I'm half as smart as your son but I have a dog that'll do most of that without a battery crammed up his a55!
That'll be an impressive feat when he has it completed.
Congrats to your boy and you should be proud.

You should make the video public so that I can see it.

Is this through any national organization (like FIRST) or just something they decided to do on their own?

I thought it was Public.... Can you not just click onto it ? I'll get it uploaded on a different site.

He's doing it through a Robotics club at School.

Does that work ?

That's pretty good. Autonomous robot programming is rather difficult. If your son wants to keep doing the robotics thing as he grows older, I you should look into FIRST at http://www.usfirst.org/

They have programs for kids up through high school. I was on one of the high school teams and it was a ton of fun.
