Gordon,

That is a good question. And I agree, there isn't much out there in this
regard.  In my book I talk about very simple (1D) robot navigation -
remembering a place that you went to and going back to it.

As far as more complex navigation goes with Mindstorms, Anthony Fudd made a
robot with two angle sensors and three motors that can drive around in a 2D
space and know where it is at any given time.  He programmed it with RCX Code.
It was designed for the June 1999 Popular Mechanics article about Mindstorms.

He had this on display at Mindfest at MIT.

Ben,
My point was, if I already know a lot about the sort of things you have
listed, where do I go now to take it to the next level. I haven't found that
the available books on Mindstorms do this.

For example, some ideas on robot navigation (how to remember a place and get
back to it unaided) would be great. A selection of methods with a discussion
of the pros and cons of each, with example code is the sort of thing I am
talking about.

regards
Gordon
