Looks good!
Just a small complaint about adding Swiki pages, though... When adding a new wiki page, try to check to see if there is already a page covering the same topic (by doing a search if necessary).
In your case, there was already a "Lego Mindstorms" page at http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1872 , so you may not have needed to create a sort-of duplicate page. (You could have found this page by doing a search on the Swiki for "Lego".) Possibly combining the content of the two pages might be a good idea, or at the very least you should add a link from your page to the other one and vice versa.
The Swiki needs more of this sort of cleanup in general... removing duplication, and adding more cross-referencing of related material. I've created a couple of pages about this on the Swiki. See:
"Refactoring the Swiki" http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2352
"An Encyclopedic Swiki" http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2348
Please help to refactor the Swiki occasionally as you use it. (Especially when adding new pages!)
