Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: OT: FYI: WANTED: LEGO Mindstorms Educators
Hi All
In direct relation to Steve's message, i came across the MBARI link sometime
last year. A Lego ROV, brilliant! and it has some good information in the
PDF.
the other link is from the google page i used to re-search for the document.
I thought it deserved a quick look.
