Interesting. I taught a course in robotics once and had to use a
special language therefor; it would have been great to have been able
to use LOGO. I really wanted a real turtle (i.e. a double motored
device rolling on two parallel wheels each independently driven with a
pen with which to draw - either both wheels go together (forward or
back) or both go in opposite directions (left or right) when I was
teaching this material. Actually I have a mindstorms LEGO (first
version) in which I had hoped to produce a turtle but since the motors
are either on or off and not servos, I couldn't build a "real turtle".
Tell me about US First, Adam.
