How much time did you give to the activity? I'd love to do this with some of the kids I tutor but I'm not sure if we'd have time.

Awesome work!

The whole class was about an hour. However, I spent about 20 minutes or so playing a different game which would get the kids excited about robots. I showed them some robots that exist today from current research and I actually had a little robot I made, which started walking when you clap. This way I introduced them the concept of a "brain" or computer residing inside the robot so that it would do stuff if you gave it the right instructions.
