    Announcing the Seattle Mindstorms and Robotic Techies —David Schilling
   After the November 6th "Workshop 3D LEGO RCX Challenge" in Seattle, Gus Jansson and I decided it was time to start a LEGO Robot specific group in this area. Well, it's about a month later, and we're through talking, time for some action! So this is (...)

     Congratulations!! Looks like fun. I have added you to the development map but I will wait until Todd gives you a group on LUGNET before I have him copy it over because I will have to make the link. Here is the development map: (URL) Kingsley (...) (24 years ago, 13-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.us.wa, lugnet.loc.us.wa.sea, lugnet.loc.us.wa.tac)

         Re: OOhh new preson —Clive Wadham
      Hi John, some answers to your questions... 1) I don't know of any lego clubs in London - I live west of London and am not aware of any in the area. (maybe we should start one!) 2) I found this web site (URL) excellent for learning VB for Mindstorms (...) (24 years ago, 14-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)

       Yeah It will be vb then, because I want to "Try" and get the robot to find out information and send it to the computer for mapping as one of my projects. Thank you all for your advice...
