Our Robots take many forms, and they are built using one of five identical VEX IQ Education Kits (2nd gen). Sometimes they are a clawbot and other times a mobile ping pong ball launcher. Each of our Educational Kits are named for an American god - in the same tradition NASA utilized the names of Greek and Roman gods. You can read more about how NASA named it's missions and vehicles in this free publication from NASA: Origins of NASA Names.
