robit

one of the Christmas gifts he got was a kit for making a robot (or as we call them, robits).  we took the opportunity on a free afternoon to put it together.  it was a fairly simple device, it has wheels that go forward until it hits something, then it turns and goes backwards until it hits something again.  we pieced together all the bits, screwing in the nuts and bolts, attaching the wires, and finally putting a battery in it to see it work.  we put it on the kitchen floor and let it go.  it was hilarious to watch it root around back and forth!  then we had an idea- we gathered up a bunch of his hardcover books and built a maze on the floor for it to try and get through.  it was really funny to see it bonk one side and try to figure out how to wander down through the path!  it sure was a fun little robit to play with for an afternoon!
