Robot Kits Make A Totally Cool Gift!

We have the best robot kits for kids. Robot technology is one science that is rapidly expanding. Robots are being used in the space program, the military, for surgical procedures, virtual autopsies, and construction. I just read an article on how robots in Japan are running a household, including fixing sushi! Given the expansion of robotic science, isn't it a good idea to get your kids interested from a young age? Instead of spending money on some mind numbing toy or game, I'll be picking up a few of these great kits.

"I'm amazed with the number of pics and easy-to-follow instructions. I'm no expert, but anyone can build these kinds of 'bots, even me! It's fun watching people interact with my robot and the kids love it. I highly recommend this book for anyone who's interested in building their first 'bot or starting a new hobby. The best thing is that you don't have to spend a lot of money but you can build a very cool 'bot that will explore and entertain for many hours! Great for the kids to get involved in something fun, affordable and an excellent learning experience." 5 Stars

Would You Let A Robot Clean Your House?

Anyone can comment. You do not have to be a member of Squidoo.

From what I heard on a news segment today, life like the Jetsons is not too far away. Would you let a robot clean your house? How about cook dinner?

    Someday in the future, a robot could be a friend too.

    Of course I would. I'd also let a robot mow the lawn and pull weeds:)
