What is the Best Environment-Language for Teaching Robotics Using Lego MindStorms?


How about that for a question from 2002t.

Open university paper

This is a bit surreal because this paper is co authored by  Tony Hirst, who i looked up on wikipedia.

He was the founder of the Open University Robotics Outreach Group which was responsible for the
iBOTZ range of robotics toys.

This is where the picobotz robot comes from and this is the robot that we used for outreach during engineering week for the last 5-6 years.

This brilliant piece of technology, especially the programming interface. This has been one of my biggest inspirations for robotics based learning and was the platform used in the first iteration of the cGO project, see Louise vision board in early blog. ..full circle..;-)
