Top, meet BOB the Carver team's robot, a completely programmable droid and not a remote control unit.. Above, the bowl with bacteria killing UV lights built into the lid to kill salmonella bacteria found in eggs. The judges enjoyed the bowl so much they encouraged the kids to pursue a patent. Toymaker Lego, along with Iowa State University and several local and regional sponsors, have devised the competition to encourage young scientists in honing their analytical, math, and collaborative problem solving skills. Legos are excellent fast prototyping building materials that can be made into robots among other things. |
