JASON@Fisher Robot Mystery
"In 1989, Dr. Robert Ballard used a remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) called Jason to explore the wreck of the Titanic. Now, over the Internet, you can use the St. John Fisher College ROV to explore mock ocean depths and find answers to the mystery questions. Fisher’s ROV is actually a remote-controlled toy truck with headlights and a digital camera mounted on top. It travels along a glass platform which has clues hidden below it. To play (and control the ROV over the Internet), you will need to organize and register a team of schoolmates, family members or friends."

Get a Grip on Robotics
"This exhibit explores the jointed-arm robot which "looks similar to a certain part of your body." Each direction a joint can move gives the robot one degree of freedom. So, a robot arm with three degrees of freedom can move in three ways: up/down, left/right, and forward/backward. Although some robots have six, eight or even twelve degrees of freedom, six is enough for most basic tasks, and therefore most working robot arms have six degrees of freedom. The human arm, however, has seven. Find out which movement you have that most robotic arms do not."
