My husband and I are currently looking at producing a nice graphical front-end to ucblogo using wxWindows. The concept's *reasonably* well sorted, but I am a bit short on spare time at the moment, what with a PhD thesis to write and all. > In the future, I hope to get some Lego Mindstorms, which are > programmable legos.

We already have a set of mindstorms lego, and were thinking of attempting to build a logo "turtle" using them. I can't remember off-hand whether my husband said he'd found instructions for doing this somewhere on the web, or whether it's something that'll have to be designed. Whatever, this could be quite fun ;-) Diana.
