Did some searching today and found this as a standalone feature. I miss playing with Legos as a kid too. Thanks to Johnny H. for the help brainstorming ideas.
Aiden McCloskey, 8, and Konnor Allen, 6, install a Lego gear box to the motor on their their Lego robotic car in order to give their contraption more torque so it can pull greater weight during the Apprentice Robotics class with American Robotics Academy at the Joy School on Monday, July 18, 2011 in Houston. The American Robotics Academy classes last for one week each and teach children the basics of mechanics using Lego motors in small teams to design, build and test miniature robots. The camps are offered at different locations throughout the Houston, Dallas and San Antonio areas. To learn more about the classes visit www.roboticsacademy.com ( Patrick T.
