Cogs, the problem solving robot, had such fun last year and will be returning to the Hunter Valley Steamfest on the 28th-29th April to appear at the Powerhouse Museum marquee. Cogs will entertain children and adults with a fascinating show called 'Steam Engine Cogs'. Children will become parts of a steam engine as we attempt to power Cogs- but don’t go too fast or else Cogs might power down! Also kids best be on the look out for Cogs when he goes out for a walk in the Rally Ground. Click here to find out more.
