Putting together Legos isn't likely to impress the judges, but using a Lego
creation could well be nifty.
I propose the following: make a robot that will throw a paper airplane.
The study is in how the design of a paper airplane changes its flight
distance. Of couse, your son will have to come up with a theory, designs
some planes to test it, you know the rest.
The beauty of using a robot to throw the plane is that the force, etc. is
somewhat constant compared to a human throwing it.
Regards,
Jim

| My son's science fair is coming up, and was wondering if there might be any suggestions for a project using Mindstorms? Although my son is only 7, he is very bright and loves legos. Also, his school encourages parent participation in these projects (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
