I can see how "Building" and "Programming" are activities, but I don't
think "Hardware" or "Internals" are. And I think a separate "Internals"
section belongs under each CPU section, not together in their own section,
unless there's a lot of common data among them (maybe there is for RCX and
Cybermaster.) Maybe it could have "Building" and "Programing", with
"Hardware" under "Building" and "Internals" split between each Controller?
Or maybe we've spent too much time on this already. Since it will
probably be written in HTML, people can search and jump around easily and
the overall structure is not that important.

That sounds fine, although I would have organized the categories around
activities rather than hardware/software:
I. Building
A. Bodies
B. Legs
C. Wheels
D. Arms
E. Bumpers
F. Etc.
II. Programming
A. General Programming Concepts
B. Programming with Mindstorms
C. Programming with Robolab
D. Programming with Spirit.ocx/Bytecodes
E. Programming with H8 assembly
III. Hardware
A. Robot Controllers
1. RCX
2. Cybermaster
3. STAMP
4. Etc.
B. Sensors
1. Touch
2. Light
3. Rotation
4. Custom sensors
5. Etc.
C. Motors
1. 5225
2. Older motors
3. Custom motors
4. Etc.
IV. Internals
A. RCX
1. Firmware code
2. ROM code
B. Cybermaster
1. Firmware code
2. ROM code
Comments on the differences?

| (...) Maybe "activities" was the wrong word. (...) I envisioned Internals to be like an appendix. Nobody really want's to know about them except those people working at the lowest level, which is almost nobody. And maybe Internals also wasn't the (...) (26 years ago, 4-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
