I was at The Abraham Moss City learning Centre
Manchester , today with the Bulldog, and had a wonderfull response from the kids and staff,
especially the live demo where they went ballistic , who said R/Wars is dead,

Sorry Si, you would have loved it , it was for kids ,who have had a really poor start in life ,,many without parents, they where really brilliant, and very, very, bright!!! We have been there before , but each time I appreciate
them more,

thats right shane , I think I have done about 15 of these, Robot Family Days now, the moneys great, but I get a real kick out of seeing a couple of kids who have been given up on by the world ,building something out of their own immagination, and watching it work, it may actually be the first time they have ever made anything, and may be the turning point in their lives ,who knows,

Just looking through the forum and came across this. John from Roaming Robots came alomg to a computer club for autistic kids and did one of the ant weight sessions.

Went down an absolute storm. Some of the kids who are normally very difficult to engage in any way got very interested in this and very excited about it.

For some of the kids who are particularly noise sensitive and cant really go to the live events it was great. (We have one in particular who is robot wars mad but has to watch even the tv show with the sound down).

This type of stuff really is appreciated and the impact lasts a lot longer than you would expect.

Anyway, keep it up.

Andy

PS: Anyone passing round Finchley who wants to pop in and show off their bot, feel free to drop me a line and we can sort it out.
