I marked a few of these candidates with arrows (->) which seemed like they fit
best into a larger forward-growable general structure.  Those, in summary:

     lugnet.robotics.rcx
     lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc
     lugnet.robotics.rcx.os.legos
     lugnet.robotics.events
     lugnet.robotics.events.robot-arena

I am uncertain about the first of your five suggestions. It is not clear to me
which topics you think should go under "lugnet.robotics.rcx". If this is for
discussing RCX firmware, I can see the idea, but general RCX related issues
should stay under "lugnet.robotics" as I suspect the RCX will be at the core of
lego robotics for some time. What about "lugnet.robotics.rcxfirmware" instead?

On a general note I think it would be wrong to firmly seperate programming and
construction issues. "Mindstorms" is a blast because it is about the
interaction between these two subjects. It toys with our thinking and
imagination. Both are ever present even when we are concetrating on one of
them.

An idea. One day - when we are tired of playing with the $$$ toy we said our
kids could not live without - I think there could be room for:
lugnet.robotics.education

(...) lugnet.robotics.rcxfirmware is certainly more accurate and descriptive than just plain lugnet.robotics.rcx. But I think the 'rcxfirmware' component makes it a bit long, though, in terms of practical limitations on sub-group names -- for (...) (25 years ago, 5-Feb-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

  CFD: robotics sub-groups
 
Last week, the topic came up about creating a special new group for Robot Arena. (See (URL) for more details and how the thread unfolded.) Assuming this belongs inside the .robotics hierarchy (rather than inside a separate .events hierarchy), a (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.robotics)
