The Lego RIS is an ideal platform to learn about robotics. Has anyone on this
list looked into Rug Warriors? It is, also, a Lego platform but it uses the
Motorola 6811 series controller. In operation it is almost identical to the RIS
but it has more room to expand, input/output than the RIS. If anyone is
interested they might check out the MIT site, the Rug Warrior was started there
also. How about other platforms? The wheelchair was cool but as a general
purpose platform it would need some rework.
