Robots

Mrs. Clement Wong came to our preschool to share some robots with us.  He brought the round Roomba vacuum that ate some Cheerios we threw on the floor.  Another robot was a long skinny one with a brush on the end that is used to clean the debris out of your gutters.  When Mr. Wong took off the brush, the kids got to drive the robot forwards and backwards with a little remote.  The last robot he brought us is one that is used by Armed Forces and Law Enforcement.  This robot can "see" and handle being thrown or dropped, so it is perfect to send into dangerous situations.  It can flip too!  The robot is controlled by a tablet type remote and showed the camera of the robot looking at all of us.  The kids got to drive this robot too.  It can go really fast and many of our kiddos figured out quickly how to change the controls to do just that.  Finally, Mr. Wong activated a "people" type robot at his work.  The robot drove all around his work and his co-workers.
