Hello,

        Just for fun, I thought it would be interesting to
  do hobby like ada programming on robots. From searching
  google, most I got was references to using Ada for lego
  mindstorms. That seems like fun, anyone have experience in
  this?

        Here are some of the links for Lego Mindstorm:
        1) http://www.faginfamily.net/barry/Papers/AdaLetters.htm
        2) http://www.usafa.af.mil/dfcs/bios/mcc_html/adagide.html
        3) http://www.usafa.af.mil/dfcs/Ada_Mindstorms_manual.htm

        Now if only I could program a Robosapien in Ada to
  do stuff, that would be neat :)

        Robosapien with a camera and light:

        Any other available fun ada programming with robotics?
  Looking for fun in programming that isn't actually programming
  something useful, like corewars (http://corewars.sourceforge.net/).

        Hope this wasn't off-base with this, but all programmers
  like to play in programming that isn't "work"? Plus, robots are
  cool.

Thanks,
Chris
