Good Use of Toys with robotics
Hi .
You done very good job. really good to use toys. you can attract kids also. good luck for the future.

was really simple to set up with that guide, i would have struggled otherwise.
Im working on it
Ive had a whole load of other things to sort out first though =/ No time for bots atm.
