Robotics involves lots of supplies. Electronics, motors, aluminum and plastic stock. Lots of it we now have in stock, but there are always things that are needful. Because shipping costs extra we try to merge shopping lists into larger deliveries. And I have always considered the day that big boxes of coolness turn up on the porch to be "Robot Christmas". I of course need to open a few....just to make sure everything has arrived in good shape.
Our latest undertaking is a new spin on Robot School, our farm club at the middle school level. And with a new venture we of course need new toys. Lots of new toys. FIRST Tech Challenge robots are about 15% of the size of the high school program machines, but they have lots and lots of small fiddly parts. We are talking about hundreds of items showing up in a half dozen boxes....
Merry Robot Christmas! I thought it would be fun to stack the hoard up into something resembling a Christmas tree.
