Hi, I have been nominated to b

Hi, I have been nominated to be super attendant of a new 4-H project this year, robotics. I accepted and have been searching the net for robots kids can make and display. I was also requested to build an interactive robot to I interact with fair patrons. With hours of searching I found Ez robots webpage. This "brain" module was exactly what I was looking for to control this bot. My idea is to build a 5ft robot on tracks that has friendly face and personality. I want arms to function with simple grippers. I would like to come as close to Johnny 5s personality without being confused as a copy cat. In the 4-H building im thinking of wowing people by having the robot recognize the 4h members faces and say hi or some sort of communication to them thats mimics AI. I also thouth about having the robot look at projects and be able to tell strangers or play some sort of recording either video or audio about the project and its member. I also am looking to make a "dog" type bot thats low lying, runs on tracks, has a wagging tail, eyebrows to show expression, and can chase a red ball. This all seems like a lot and it is but most is smoke and mirrors. Im excited to get kids interested in electronics and robotics.
