Virtual Ventures - LEGO Mindstorms NXT Battlebots

Basically I landed the coolest job this summer; working as an instructor for the coolest science camp = Virtual Ventures. Computers, physics and robots are part of our daily routine. So I decided to compile a short video demonstrating some battlebots that last weeks group of kids built. Pretty wicked stuff.
