Lego Scorpion

Greg and Madison are doing Lego League again this year.  Lego League is a competition using Lego Mindstorm robotics.  Greg had his dad's set of mindstorms at home and was playing with them.  He built a scorpion. The kids had lots of fun playing with the scorpion.

The scorpion had a stinger that would strike you if you got too close to it.

The kids really have fun with the robots.  Madison is really enjoying Lego League and working on programing the robot for different missions.  This year they are learning about senior citizens and the robot has many different missions to accomplish that all have to do with things seniors face.  There is also a research part to Lego League where they have to find a solution to a problem and then present it in an interesting way to a panel of judges at competition.  This is a great opportunity for Madison to learn and problem solve.
