| There seems to be a lot of discussion about creating new groups lately. I would like to see a new robotics group. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with lugnet.robotics, but the level of most of the discussion in there is way over my head. I (...)

| With the current amount of traffic going by these days, I'd say this is not necessary. Besides, it's refreshing to answer some basic questions once in a while. :-) I suspect the traffic will peak again in September to December, when LEGO introduces (...)

| I'd be interested in the same thing. The robotics group is too technical for me to keep current with, but I'd like to discuss what projects others are doing with their Mindstorms. Perhaps at some point I'll get more into the technical aspects, and (...) (25 years ago, 21-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.robotics)

| Not that we're actually having an RFD here, but I would tend to disagree with the idea of creating a separate group for RCX newbies. It's been said before, and I think it merits repeating that if a newbie group existed, there would not be the same (...) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.robotics)
