最近息子がロボットにはまっている。去年、学校の仲間とあるアジア大会に参加してみたら、なーんと優勝しちゃった。親ももちろんの事だが、本人達も超びっくり。 大会の内容は、リモコンで軽いボールを拾って、移動して、箱の中に入れる。 何分間に、何個のボールを入れられるかで勝負する、簡単そうで、実はかなり苦労したらしい。 やっぱ、息子はテッキーになちゃいそうだなっす。
息子と仲間達が使ったボール拾いのロボット
My son and some friends at school have recently gotten into robots. This is a photo of one they made last year to compete in a contest. The remote controlled robot was designed to pick up “nerf” balls, carry them, and deposit them into a box. Sounds easy, but they suffered many trials and tribulations.
They DID however win the local Asian Regional League of the competition they entered — to the surprise not only of their parents, but to the builders as well.
Good job, guys.

Yeah I know how difficult it can be to do things that seem easy to do at a glance and outwardly but actually requires a hell of a lot more skills and technique to pull off a great coupe in achieving the task.I must say your son so into robot thing
might be interested in working for NASA or something,which I think is a good thing,especially for a boy your son’s age.In fact it makes two of us, though it’s way too late for me to have any hope in me workng in a place like that.By the way I like the term that you use, techee.
