We scored a great deal at the Goodwill yesterday: an almost complete DK Robotics set. The previous owner had cracked the battery housing on their first model, and must have given up at that point. With a little ingenuity, and a nice wide rubber band, we figured out how to get it working again.

We spent the afternoon working on the half completed car robot. It was pretty neat. It used string with knots in it as it's program, with which it steered itself around the room. It was a bit difficult to control though. We are looking forward to working on some more robotics soon.
