Modifications For The Adventure Bot Please Help Us Program This ;)

We are completely new to actually building EZ-Robots. My 7 year old son has been fascinated with them for probably about a year on Youtube. To try and encourage his love of ez-robots we bought the adventure bot for his birthday. My sister in law bought some extra parts because lets face it she wanted to win the "Best aunt" award. So she bought him the ultrasonic distance sensor and the LED block. Now we are struggling where to even begin after figuring out how to build the Adventure bot, attach the "extras", charge the batteries....we have no clue where or how to even begin programming this project. So much that the bot has been sitting for about 2 weeks! We want to encourage him but we are going to need the help of anyone who could tell us if this is even possible? We need help because the next project is to try and build him his own Wall-E bot! YES, we are crazy! stress

Those are fantastic! So glad to see how much he is enjoying it.

And now I think I am going to re-design my adventurebot. I like how he has hte camera and ping sensor mounted low.

Fun - fun - fun! He has done some creative things to AB (Adventure Bot). Like using the RGB Led Block as a head. Looks cool that way. Now he just has to condition himself to talking to the computer instead of the robot. :) That's hard to do though. Still, it picked up his voice pretty well even from a distance and facing the wrong way.

I look forward to future videos featuring Robot Boy and His Trusty Mechanical Companion, ABE (Adventure Bot Extraordinaire). Then the sequel, Robot Boy and Mecha-Spidey - The Adventure Continues! Finally, the exciting conclusion to the trilogy ... Robot Boy and ABE vs Rogue Mecha-Spidey! eek

LOL! What fun. He's a lucky kid to have such a loving and caring mom as you. He's got a bright future ahead of him. ;)

@Future Ez Robot builders Mom... Just wait until he starts hacking and taking all the electronic things in the house apart... Oh wait, that was me when I was a kid... Still, I would hide your iPhone if I were you LOL. I find it so amazing that your boy has no problem understanding this stuff in yet we have had a few adult members (that claim a background in robotics and computers) just never quite get how ez robot works... There is actually a couple of youngsters on here that in fact are "rocking" ez robot.... Good to see..
