Legoland Robotics

The Lego Robotics Network website sounds like an attraction at Legoland. Teams of kids can program a robot to move and turn. The decide how far it goes and how much it turns. For example, they can have it move ahead 3 inches, turn 45 degrees left and them move ahead 6 more inches. The purpose is to race the robots against each other. The robot may have to drop balls into a basket, etc. The kids really enjoy it and learn a lot from it.

While Legoland is says it is geared for 2-12 year olds, it really isn't. But this one thing the older kids like.
