Check out this neat tutorial on how to build a miniature robot using an Altoids tin.

Read these instructions and do it yourself! Robotics can be a great teaching tool and an easy way to get kids interested in the sciences. Several Spark funded projects involve robotics including Curious Creatures from Art Energy Design, Character Therapy from Interbots, and the Robot Algebra Project from Girl Scouts of Southwestern PA.
