I would agree that there is strong enough division between the three
following topics to warrent seperate fora:
-- "Pure" Lego robotics: using only Real Lego hardware, although including
using alternate development environments. This is Mindstorms (etc.) from
a user level.
-- Mindstorms reverse engineering/metadevelopment: figuring out the
internals, and building tools for others to use.
-- Custom Lego robotics: homebrew and other commercial systems that
interface with Lego. This is Lego robotics from a hardware-hacker's
viewpoint. And the 'non-purist' approach puts a different attitude and
feel to the whole thing. Someone posted to the list just a bit ago
saying that they hoped the excitement over Mindstorms would die down
soon because they wanted to talk about other possiblities. While that's
certainly an ok view to have, a lot of us (most of us?) feel
differently.
