- The document mentioned, the "6.270 Robot Builder's Guide", is the
- course notebook I wrote for MIT's LEGO Robot Design Competition. Some
- of you comp.robotics readers may find it interesting. It's on-line
- our server in "pub/6270/docs". You will need a fair bit of time on
- your PostScript printer to print it out (it's 250 pages long).
