08:01 AM ace4016: i'd think any of the mindstorms would work, along with whatever parts you need from other series; primarily technic (sp?) pieces

08:12 AM ace4016: not entirely sure. i know there is a visual scripting language running on a labview backend and a proper scripting langauge. not sure if you can technically use anything, so long as there's a toolchain to support your langauge. there's likely some OSS projects out there that might provide that

08:13 AM paul424: visual scripting language :\
08:13 AM paul424: what do they teach kids today ? !
