Robot First

Lukas  has enticed his brother to join in the big Robot project. The sunny weather on Sunday proved the perfect opportunity to try out the robot outside. Lukas and Noah dissemble the robot and brought it down the stairs in pieces, it is far too heavy to be moved in one piece, although it is designed to fit snuggly in the back of the Honda. :-)
Noah took charge of the driving and Lukas, Mamma and Dad all had a chance to try out the new ride. Not wanting to be left out, Noah finally had a chance to ride, and the boys tried the capabilities of the robot on different surfaces - concrete vs wet muddy winter ruined grass - and to the boys delight the robot handled both well.
Lukas directed the robot from inside the house, as it drove around on the driveway, using a camera to see where it was. What is next? Not sure, but the automatic sweeper looks pretty good to me.
