Alex I read your message and went to your web page and looked at your desigh and
was wondering if you (or anyone else) can help me with resources for building
robots for my 16 year old son. We Home school and are about to start using
mindstorms for a robotics class and I am trying to get as much information and
projects as possible. Do you program with the Robolab or the Mindstorms software?

has worked with the Logo programming language.
Thanks
Jim Clark
