They kids came together, so we put the team together, we got on the Internet, we got the money, we registered and we bought the equipment.

The whole thing is helping these kids that may want to go into engineering understand what it is to deal with a problem-solving situation.

Each group of kids use their own creative initiative to figure out how to engineer and design the robot to fulfill the requirements of the challenge.

These kids have put probably 50 to 100 hours in the past three weeks in that machine. Last night, several of them pulled an all-nighter. We ordered pizza.

Our mission is to help these kids develop the communications skills, the interpersonal skills and the problem-solving skills to work in a global environment.

Kids are taking PCs and the Internet to new heights. They're the ones that are designing the cutting-edge web sites.
