Re: Novice group

I'd be interested in the same thing.  The robotics group is too technical for
me to keep current with, but I'd like to discuss what projects others are doing
with their Mindstorms.  Perhaps at some point I'll get more into the technical
aspects, and lugnet.robotics is the first place I'll look for info.  With the
R2D2 Mindstorms kit coming this year, there will probably be even more
non-techie Mindstorms fans.

Maybe lugnet.robotics.Mindstorms?
