Bob, Welcome to the Robotics Invention System and the RCX. I know you and your son
will have an excellent time with it. Sorry that you are missing the holiday with
your family, but what a fantastic project you are working on.
There is a program with NASA and Lego called "First Lego League" that you might try
surfing the web for. It is aimed at just that age and provides a creative learning
environment for school teams and there are regional and national competitions. You
should be able to find info at NASA and at the Lego Mindstorms site.
Good luck and congratulations with the HTS. Looks like a big success.
