Subject:  - Learning Studio - week of February 17

A few days late but here is the latest report.

WEB SITE OF THE WEEK:

Serious LEGO
http://www.jpbrown.i8.com/

A site for the robotics fans.
For the non fans I recommend still taking a look at this site. I never
imagined so much cool stuff could be done with LEGO robots.

This site is also linked from our Robotics web information sources page
(still under heavy construction)
