I like teaching.
I like working with remote students and share cultural issues.
Your project is a big one.

1) The robot take the dirt and convert to a liquid solution. You don't know
if as example the dust have iron or copper.

2) The robot could have the eight reactive bottles with HCl, H2S,NH4OH, etc
(I simplify here for non al-chemist :=)

3) The student should made the decision tree what each cation have

See

f and 

http://www.dartmouth.edu/~chemlab/chem3-5/qual_cat/full_text/chemistry.html

Or other qualitative analysis for cations. I follow  of Arthur I. Vogel's
textbook of quantitative chemical analysis.

See the two first screens at

The remote image is working at

Use Firefox, be patient my cable modem is slow and someone could hang the
system before you .
Also remember what all is on roughly 09:00 to 20:00 GMT

You and your students are welcomed to ask any question here or private.
I hope what when 3.10 final see the light (end of May) you have a English
2007 greatson of SqueakChem.
