There are curriculum ideas that can be ordered for ROBOLAB but they are
aimed at middle school students.  They can be purchased from
PITSCO-LEGO Dacta.  There are some high-school level ROBOLAB
ideas at http://ldaps.ivv.nasa.gov/Curriculum/systems.html
ROBOLAB takes a little more time to learn the ins and outs of, but you can
do more sophisticated things with it than mindstorms, and the language is
more intuitive - it is sequential like a flowchart.
