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.
