I had purchased a slew of robotic kits at a garage sale from a former robotics show owner in the hope that my children might develop an interest at some point. The kits are MOVIT, arrex, and C-Control brands, and many require programming.
My newly 7 year-old son has spent the last two days working almost non-stop on these kits. I would love to help him develop his interests and skills in this area. Can anyone recommend any books or instructional materials for him? (He reads at about a high-school level, but I think introductory material, as opposed to an advanced, technical manual, presupposing a lot of basic knowledgable of robotics, would be better.
Also, can anyone recommend a quick and dirty source for helping me learn enough about robotics and programming to assist him, as needed? My knowledge of robotics and programming is minimal.
Thank you!
