I prefer the grouping by activities, as you illustrated above. I'd also
add a category or subcategory related to interfacing the RCX with other
platforms (i.e Linux, Macs, Palm devices, etc.) - I could imagine that
going as a subcategory under programming or as a major category by itself
(perhaps called Development Platforms - which would list the various
platforms and what lego-robotics options are availble for each).

| (...) I like the "activities" layout as well. How about a section on sources? Like the "Mobile Robots" book and the construction guides from MIT and Wierd Richard? -= Dennis =- dburke@qualcomm.com (28 years ago, 4-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
