More Robot Plans

Gavin's blueprint
Another day focused on building a robot.  I am afraid we are probably going to be going to the hardware store soon to begin gathering supplies.

Wanting to encourage his creativity, and help the trip to the hardware store be less frustrating and costly, we told Gavin that all engineers start with a drawing, or idea, and then they draw up plans.
(That's true right?)

Here are both his rendering of the prototype and blueprints.

He challenged me to build a robot that could destroy his in a fight.
I told him if his robot would spare mine, in the duel, it might share some of its cookies with him.

Aww I like that he makes cookies and also destroys things. How did the trip to home depot go? I bet Gavin would get a kick out of something like this when he gets older: http://www.roboticsforfun.com/
