:I'm part of the Butiá team, maybe you remember us, in your last visit to Montevideo/Uruguay we show you an early prototype of the Butiá robot (a robot that integrates with the XO). We have released the 1.0 versión of the sources, which it has fully integration with tortugarte (http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/publicaciones.html). Last month we gave near of 30 Butiá robots in a robotic event organized by the University. This robots were given to secondary schools of all the country, in this event we gave some tutorials and exercises to do with our help. One of the schools did a great line follower in tortugarte ;) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szp0LWLyPIg  Then in the second day we give some tutorials and some childrens really enjoy the experience, like Pedro a 10 years old children who really has programming skills ! http://www.flickr.com/photos/butiarobot/5059177334/ http://www.youtube.com/aguirrea#p/u/7/p0y11iyhFko

:In future months we will go to the schools which we give the robot to continue teaching and giving new challenges. If you like to see more about Butiá, we have a flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/butiarobot/ and also a web page: http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia
