Thank you so much for doing this. I teach middle school robotics, most of it LEGO Mindstorms, but I do teach a course grandiosely entitled 'artificial intelligence and mobile robotics'. My students learn about many of the robots you mention, so this AMA is a TREASURE trove for me! I have one very advanced student that I might try with your course, as he is probably far beyond the limited amount of Python I teach the other advanced students.

This is so fascinating, I always feel that I am living in a science fiction story. I started reading Asimov many years ago, and find it amazing that we are so far beyond what he anticipated in many ways, but so very far behind in robotics.

That is really wonderful! Thank you so much for letting me know. I have been quite concerned about what to do for this student (who wrote an offline chatroom for his team's FIRST LEGO League project last year) for a whole semester on this course, and your course might be great. The Play track is exactly what I need for enrichment purposes for kids who get too far ahead of the others. You don't know how excited I am! :)
