       There are few things more rewarding than helping a kid to get their robot to work.

       @phpete It's nice to help a kid do something they think is cool, but if YOU think it's cool too it's even better.

       @futurebirdOr an adult!We had this arduino robot project for a community college course I was taking, with two person teams to get the work done.My team's robot worked reasonably well. But one team was having trouble getting theirs to function, for reasons they couldn't understand. There's only so much one could do to help without digging through the code. But looking at the wiring for a minute, I realized a jumper was probably set wrong. After switching it, the robot worked a lot better.

       @futurebird seeing that "aha" moment as a concept truly clicks is my big reason for teaching. Add a robot physically doing a thing? Dopamine addiction shall follow!
