Lego Mindstorm Battle of the Brains

Jacob and two of his classmates built a forklift with Lego Mindstorms.

The kids had a specified amount of time to make their creation.

This is the forklift that went into battle.

Lego Robotics Part 2

Latest battle of the brains.  Jacob seems to be enjoying the class. 

LEGO ROBOTICS - BATTLE OF THE BRAINS

I enrolled Jacob in an after school program that builds Lego robots from the Lego Mindstrom series.  Jacob and his best friend built this robot last week.  In March the class gets to compete with other schools in a Lego Robotics battle.  I hope to take more photos and some video too.

Mindstorm Part 1

This Mindstorm creation is called a color sorter.  Jacob and Michael got the directions online.  First you build the machine and then input the computer program.  I have a feeling I am going to be posting many videos in the coming weeks.
