The robots were made from Legos and electronic pieces. The kids used a computer to program the robot's movements on the course, with the goal of having the robots follow a line on the course and pull in and out of wooden boxes along the course.
The robots were quite entertaining. Some whizzed through the course easily, while others veered off course and attempted to climb the sides of the wooden boxes resulting in lots of giggles from the crowd.
