Regarding Battle bots and competitional robots: There's an amazing
competition that's been around for a long time, even before Battle
bots. It doesn't involve fighting robots, but impressive technological
creations that compete against each other. Though this competition
is for high schoolers (FIRST Robotics Competition), there is one
for anyone ages 9-14 called FIRST LEGO League. It's SO much more
exciting then just building a robot that you may never use in competition.
It teaches problem solving, team work, and science. Regarding Materials
for building a robot: Visit http://www.parallaxinc.com! They
have awesome robot kits that are highly porfessional and innovative,
even for children! LEGO Mindstorm kits are also VERY good.

In response to how to build your own robot, it is a fairly complex
process. It requires good knowledge of metal working, so you can
create the correct parts and weld them together. You need to know
how to connect all of the motors, engines, and gears together so
that they all work, and electornically connect them to a controller.
Now, there are simpler robots you could build with legos or parts
that snap together, so you don't have to know anything about metal
working.

Do you have any ideas for building a robot out of a rc car?

out of RC Car
If you have the RC car already, you've got a good start. You might
check with your local hobby store for parts to add other features
to your robot, like programmable arms or light sensors. Sounds like
fun!

Kathleen, AL | My
First DFTV
I watched my first DFTV on 8/10/02 I just realized
that I love technology, and would love to be on your show along
with some of my friends. My favorite part of the show that I watched
was the cool robot some girls made! Anyway, Ithink your show is
the coolest, and willdefinetly be watching again soon!
DragonflyTV | My
Frist DFTV response
We'd like to hear about any cool science you created because of
the show. Simply submit your investigation in the Be
on DFTV area of the DragonflyTV Web site. Thanks for watching!.

Is time travel possible?

Katie, 13, OH | Solar
Car
I was thinking about doing the solar car for a science fair project
and was wondering how you built the car and where you got the materials?
DragonflyTV
| Solar Car response
You'd probably have to find a kit from a science supply store. Ask
your teacher if he or she has a catalog. Examples of companies to
check out are Nasco, and Edmund Scientific.
