Anyone into robotics?

My grandson is in L.A. At the moment representing New Zealand in the VEX Robotic championships. He's in the technology category & at this time has won 4 of 6 matches.

Blazin_Jason will become famous soon enough

A buddy works at Inuktun still, my dad was there for a while before as well. I've played with a couple of them before, and from time to time would powder coat some parts.

Sounds like fun. I'm going to school for Electical Automation and Robotics Tech. so I'm sure I'd enjoy something like that.
