	Does anybody have experience with robotic kits appropriate for
kids 9-14?  I'm thinking of robot arms up to more complete systems that
might be assembled over a period of weeks and serve to introduce one
or two younsters to the engineering issues before they enjoy the
fruits of their work.  Do any worthwhile products exist out there and
are there ones that might be in the price range of start-up computer
system costs?  
	Expereiences and references would be appreciated.
