John is reading a new book series called “Nick and Tesla.”  They are eleven year old twins that solve science mysteries.  This month’s book report for John’s class has to be a mystery book.  We were very happy that John was able to read one of these books for his report.  Book reports for John’s class normally involve some sort of special project to go with it.  This time, they have to take a shoe box decorate the outside and then put five objects that go with the book inside.  John read “Nick and Tesla: Robot Army Rampage” for this report and in the book they actually give directions on how to build the robots in the story.  John and Daddy spent some time and built two of the robots. 

The first one they made last weekend.  He is a friction robot made with some parts from Radio Shack, a paper clip and the head of a tooth brush.

They made the second robot yesterday.  He is made out of a computer fan, wire hanger legs and some other parts from Radio Shack.
