Robot-a-Thon

Marble Pick-Up Robot-a-Thon

This Fund-Raiser was created to help send Ariel Lothlorien to the Hawaii State Science & Engineering Fair 2002.
See how he did in the Kauai District Science Fair.

Ariel is almost finished with his robot design and plans for the event. We will post the details when his robot has been completed. After the event we will post photos of it as well as possibly a Flash movie of the event. A list of sponsors will also be posted after the event.

Update: Due to several redesigns & technical difficulties, we have had to delay this event until late April/ early May. Pictures of the work done so far are posted below.

Thank you for your interest!

Help send Ariel to the Hawaii State Science and Engineering Fair.
