The K'NEX User Group UK is an educational users of K'NEX construction kits group that makes the process of becoming a K'NEX educator quicker and easier by providing great online resources. www.knexusergroup.org.uk K*bots were invented by Thomas Vermersch from Texas at the San Antonio Academy during the summer of 1998. These K*bots weighed just under three pounds and were strictly made from K'NEX Industries parts. Division 1 was the first Division created with its two-wheel drive K*bots. Then in 1999 Division 2 K*bots were created with their powerful four-wheel drive. Division 3 remote control three motor K*bots were created in 2002 as K*bot interest started to expand and we had our first K*bot World Championships. Division M was invented in England in 2001 by several young students who loved to build less than one pound manually operated robots made with K'NEX parts. In 2004 Division M became a new Division and part of the K*bot World Championships. These K*bot competitions helped students better understand and develop engineering principles such as torque, traction, gearing mechanisms, brake systems, and center of gravity, as well as design and coordination skills for our science minded students of the future. Mr. Vermersch left Texas and now resides in Nevada. Contact Thomas Vermersch if you have questions at tvercver@cox.net Ollie Nominations are for finished we hope to see you on July 22, 2009 at the City of Las Vegas Veterans Memorial Leisure Services Center for the 2009 K*bot Ollie Awards.
