4KookieKids Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Somebody tell me what I can do with my kiddo who's obsessed with Battlebots! He's been building his own our of legos, k'nex, and our spielgaben pieces. He just turned 7 and is getting a snap circuits for his bday. Has anybody gone "further" with a battlebots lover?

MamaChicken Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 My kids and their friends spent days making and battling Lego mechanized battlebots! I know we ordered special motors for technics for some of the designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammish Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 My 9 year old is also obsessed with this show. I'm pretty sure he's made Lego recreations of every bot in the competition. :) This year I'm doing a computer science and electronics course for him. We're going to start off with a Kano Kit (which is supposedly good for ages 5+), so he can build a computer and learn to program it, and then we're going to do EEME kits so he can learn electronics and building circuits. If all goes well, I can totally see us having Raspberry Pi powered robots running around the house in a year or two. :laugh: This recent thread about robotics at home suggests Lego Mindstorms, which I imagine we'll be getting in the not too distant future, too.
