Robolab Goes National

For the past couple years my two older children who attend Catholic school have had the opportunity to participate in a extracurricular technology project called "Robolab."  Being an educator myself I couldn't let it pass, just as a mention, when I found this article on CNS.  I had no idea they were doing the same thing as far away as Vermont.

BARRE, Vt. (CNS) -- John McHugh, a fourth-grader at St. Monica School in Barre, would like to see robots used as police officers.

"They could have rockets on the bottom of their feet and fly around town looking for people who are being attacked by criminals and come down and arrest them," he said. "It'd be a big help."

Classmate Ricky Gariboldi would like to have a robot clean his room and do his homework.

Now, if I could only get my 7th grader to build a robot that'll clean his room and do his homework...

My kids have their mom...but only when it gets too indecent.

Ohhh, your kids have a mombot too, FMN? lol I remember a mountain of tube socks.. after a while, they'd stand up even without feet in them. I didn't see my kids rooms after a while--I saw clothes with a bit of floor here and there. We needed a hang-up robot. :-)
