I have found a few starts at interfaces to Mindstorms with Java but they seem overly complex. There is a package for Smalltalk that used the sprite.ocx call Bot-Kit that seems much more direct and straight forward. I wonder if there is an equivalent (...)

(...) No, I don't think so. (...) You can gear it up, but it seems you don't want to. (...) The older motor (e.g. in space shuttle 8480) turns much faster, but overall it is less efficient than the new one. Jürgen (25 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)

The MindStorms Mall Tour had a "shooter" robot that used the Vision Command system to track a target (another robot). When on target, a gatlin gun made of these projecters would start spinning and shoot a few darts. I think it was five projecters (...) (25 years ago, 21-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I noticed that the lugnet shop-at-home specials this week includes 8268 at $5. This is a deal because the service pack that contained the projectile projector (?) alone used to cost that much and they have been discontinued, so for all you designers (...)
