(...) References for "classic" C programming are getting rather scarce, but the top hit on google for "c++ tutorial", www.cplusplus.com looks like a good place to start. It begins with the basics, and only gets into object-oriented programming in (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Good links! I love those original synchro drive sites. They inspired me originally and looking at them again reminds me of a few ideas I have let slide from my brain. At the risk of this looking like link pimpage, I offered one improvement on (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Interesting! I never knew all those languages were from the same 'family'. Being a 'natural' language teacher I can see how knowing one helps to learn another related one, and I also appreciate the need for practice, practice and more practice. So (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I remember seeing something like this made of lego a long time ago... I believe it was made with the flex tubes. Also, there's a GBC that uses an Arquimedian screw to lift the balls. I'm afraid I have no links to any of this things but maybe I've (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)
