     It looks like we finally have a good answer for robot stuff
questions. (Thanks!)  A visit to Lynxmotion's site shows all kinds of
robot kits, robot arms, servo boards, books, ... .

     Evidently, all or most of the robot kits come with a PC diskette
with control programs in Parallax BASIC. So, if you can convert the
programs for Apple II or use the programs as a guide for new Apple II
programs, you should be in business.
