Hi Nikki You should contact Sue Brumpton at The Making Place, whwre they do lots of 'making' activities for the age-range you're writing for. I'm not sure if they've ever done anyhting on Robotics - it seems a bit advanced - but I'm sure Sue will know all about what 7 -10 years olds can, and can't, be expected to do on their own or with parental help.
