[vox-tech] robots and mindstorm

[Mark K. Kim]

No experience, but I thought you might want to know I read an article
about some guy writing his own OS for the Mindstorm because he thought the
software wasn't taking enough advantage of the hardware.  I think it was
The Robot Magazine (www.robotmag.com), and the article is from about two
to three years ago.  I *think* he used gcc under Linux but I don't
remember.  What he worked on may be what LegOS is now
(legos.sourceforge.net).  I'd look for the article for you except I'm not
anywhere near my magazine collection right now.  The article went through
quite a bit of the hardware details and interesting tidbits on memory
management and other things.
