We're going to be at Cool Science at UCCS

I've always tried to seek out those science fairs where people in business, education and the community could share their technology with young, curious minds. My kids love the hands on atmosphere and encouragement they would get from the many adult and student volunteers.

Well this year our FLL team, the Mindstorms Maniacs, are going to be at the Cool Science Festival at University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Our 6 member team has been hard at work trying to come up with a good robot as well as they will be sharing some of their findings about keeping food safe.

This is our attempt to meet the FLL criteria of sharing our research and our robot. It's the first time out for the group so we're not exactly sure how it will go, but at least we'll have tried. We will have demonstrations of our current robot and have a hands on LEGO power car trying to make its way up a ramp with a load of canned chicken.
