What a great idea and way to spend some quality time with the kids. I want to get one of these for my niece.

Fiorello, 45, a 1981 graduate of Methuen High School, works out of his home in Oakland, Calif., running Carl's Electronics. He bought the company from its Massachusetts owner three years ago and moved it to California.

Since then, he's learned a lot about robots from the kits he deals. He told the Times that his business has experienced a 51 percent increase in sales of the kits this year.
