      It’s quire rewarding. I think knowing that you have made something feels really good. It is basically like you have created and gave life to something.

      I think the best part of making a robot is seeing it come to life!

      It’s amazing to see it move, as we start to write the program. The program tells the robot whether to move up and down, spin around, pick something up and move it or put it down.

      I can sit and watch the robots moving in the factory for hours. Some of our biggest factories have over 500 robots working together, I always think they look like they are dancing together.

      Dear 547rbth49,
      It’s a really great feeling.
      To see something that you have spent a long time thinking about, designing, building, trying to get to work once it is built and then getting it to work well, is just the best feeling in the world.
      It’s this sense of pride you get when it works! I highly recommend giving it a go. 🙂

    It is a little bit like building from lego but you have more complicated bricks to but together. Depends what robot you built rly.
