Robots!

Avery built the robot and Reagan wrote the programs. The first video is a robot that reverses direction when it bumps into an obstacle. The second is a robot that detects a ball and then hits it.

That is cool. My boys would love to make something like that! Could you program them to detect dust bunnies and dirty dishes? ;-)I'm enjoying your blog, thanks for all the great ideas.
