[Newbies] Squeak for robot imaging and scientific applications

[Ken G. Brown]

Here are some more or less Squeak robotics related links I've saved, perhaps they will be of some use:

<http://sky.fit.qut.edu.au/~sitte/>

<http://www.wifibot.com/>

<http://wiki.itolab.com/wiki.cgi?page=About+Defart>

<http://www.hawcenter.org/>

<http://www.robotis.com/html/sub.php?sub=1&menu=3>

This one I think was for a wiki that Serge Stinckwich had going but does not appear to work now.
<http://www.iutc3.unicaen.fr/serge/SqueakBot>
Perhaps you can contact him about it via <http://www.iutc3.unicaen.fr/c3/SergeStinckwich>.
