Dad needs some help...
I got an email yesterday from a father of a 10 year old who "got a NXT set and is eager to find some simple detailed instructions for simple projects he can do. I can't believe this is so difficult to find. Can you point us in the right direction?"
He is aware of NXTLOG and points out that most people just post pictures without building or programming instructions... I told him I'd share this concern with him here and see if readers had any suggestions.
Are there any websites out there with instructions for simple bots for a very young designer? (He's aware of books, mine included, so what we're really looking for here are online resources)

And I've put up some of my designs in pictures on my Brickshelf account:

DAZLR is not quite ust the NXT kit, while the remote is, as is JennToo.

The idea behind instructions with some education in it is that childeren will learn to build themself.. I think the younger generation today is into building the insturctions and not having the basics to get on and build further than the design given by Lego..
If i look to the son of my boss.. He is 8 years old now and having 2 years of Lego technic now.. What he build is OR the default models of the spybotic. Or something that doesn't work..
Just by pushing bricks together.. But Technic Lego isn't just bricks anymore.. So they have to think many more to build..
I have to admit that even myself has problems with studless building.. Even after building 3 years studless..
So my idea is to build some instructions about basic robots with great potention to let the free mind build more to get more functions..
For the Education and the retail version.. Only the Edu version is very expensive here.. 340 euro.. That eqvalent to 400 dollar.. :S:S
The end results will be on www.brickbash.nl But so far there is nothing to see.. The robots are taking shape but are not ready..
