A robot is any device that can move on its own.
A good robot is a device that performs tasks that a human cannot perform.
A robot does not always look like a human.
A robot does not think, bleed, or feel.

NASA's Urban Robot, Urbie, features software-controlled cameras and sensors that allow it to operate autonomously in many types of terrain. URBIE checks out areas that would pose potential risks to human investigators.

Since 1964, NASA has sent 10 robotic explorers to fly by, orbit or rove around Mars, but snakebots will give scientists an unprecedented look at the Martian landscape. Snakebots, which could be ready by 2005, will be able to dig into the loose soil of Mars and burrow down to depths that other robotic probes can't get to. They can slither into the cracks of the planet's surface. "A snakebot could navigate over rough, steep terrain where a wheeled robotic rover would likely get stuck or topple," lead snakebot engineer Gary Haith says. Source: JPL, How Stuff Works

We can enroll 24 students only at this time (out of about 170 students in fourth and fifth grades) The rest of the students will be placed on the waiting list. Students who miss a meeting will have to leave the Club, and a new student on the waiting list will be placed instead of him or her.
