I am looking for good robot kits for kids 11-16 to construct a programmable
robot. The best is probably Mindstorms or Lego Dacta kits, but these are a
little expensive. The robot does not need to be autonomous, but must be
program driven, and the construction skills need to be what an 11 year old can
handle with little help. The ideal kit for my audience would be under $120 and
would be a simple demonstration of robotics and programming. What about the
Basic Stamp kits like Boe Bot? Are the Stiquito kits worth looking at? Is a
Handy board out of the question? Any experience or ideas you have would be
greatly appreciated.
