Some of my bots from the last few years. I am getting ready for Maker Faire in Flushing Queens on September 29-30. As I always tell my students, 'Robots rarely do what you want them to; I am happy when they do what I tell them to do." Last night at the robot club meeting, a newcomer picked up a 'PIC-Bot' and asked what it did. 'Probably nothing,' but I was surprised to see that it knew enough to stay on the tabletop. Robots are a rich context for teaching math and science but they are also really cool and often do unexpected things.
