Look into the Lego stuff. The Lego Mindstorms software is Windows only; but RoboLab is x-plat. The RCX "brick" (controlller) doesn't care which appllication the instructions come from. You can find it at Pitsco, USA distributor for Lego education products. Robolab is based on National Instruments Labview. It's quite an amazing application. Robolab is scriptable, though I haven't tried scripting it. If you look at the Mindstorms web site, you'll find people have done fascinating things with this system. Photocopier; 3D coordinate measurment machine; Lego machine guns; etc. PITSCO: http://www.pitsco.com Robolab catalog link: http://www.pldstore.com/pitsco2_30/catalog.cfm?dest=dir&linkid=45&linkon=sub section _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
