New to boe-bot, but not parallax
Hi all, thought I'd introduce myself on here,
I'm normally on the Propeller forum, but at the recent Elektor Live convention in Eindhoven, where Parallax had a stand, I met up with Ken, and helped out at the stand, and also the presentation on the propeller. [noparse]:)[/noparse] and received, amongst other things, a Boe-Bot, and now that I've finished work for the christmas break, thought it would be great to have a go at setting it up with my two girls, aged 7 and 3 [noparse]:)[/noparse] They both took turns to put in the screws, motors, the lot, and I must say they loved it, not only that but it worked first time, which made it more fun for them so they then took turns typing out the examples in the manual, it may have took some time waiting for them to find the keys, but the joy in their faces when their robot moved about on the floor following their commands was priceless.
So Thanks again Ken, we all love the Boe-Bot [noparse];)[/noparse]
And look forward to trying the rest of the examples over the next few days, and hopefully eventually getting them to make their own little programs on it.
