My Sponsor

robot mogul

So, I am a fifth grader. My principal is sponsoring me to build and design more robots. Last friday, I went to meet with the principal and he had some interesting questions for me. He was asking about the Boe-Bot I brought in. While I was presentintg it to him, he asked "Can your robot have an alternative energy source?" I froze. I told him that it is possible to power it by using solar cells. Am I correct? But that is not the main concern. The main concern is about another project. He wants to see not just a robot, but he wants to see a supercomputer like robot. I explained to him that it is not possible to make any robot more powerful than a propeller pwered one, he understood. He expects me to make another project to present to the president of the board of edication, what should I do, it can be any project from the level of 1-8.Help me.

You are a very knowledgeable 5th grader. I wish i was more like that when i was 11
Have you ever constructed a object detecting robot? Those are pretty easy to make and they can be a lot of fun to watch... What is your budget? Do you have to construct the robot from scratch or can you buy a kit?
