Robots

My son is obsessed with robots. We buy the robot 'kits' from Hobby Lobby, and he loves assembling pre-made 'tin can' robots and 'sweeperbots'. They move with a simple battery pack, and entertain him to no end. He loves 'em. Invariably, though, he tears them apart to scavenge pieces for his "latest invention" (his words), and brings forth a ball of servos, tape and wiring that does nothing. We encourage, he is crestfallen, wash, rinse, repeat. For a year, we have been putting pieces of disassembled robots in a box in his room.

For the last two days, he's been obsessed with a 'drawing robot', and has been frantically building.

I'll be damned.

My 5-year-old built a robot.
