Thanks John and Samir. I will look into your suggestions. My target is for the Fall Semester. So, I should be able to give updates the closer to September that we get.

Hi Jason,
You might be interested by the squeakbot project, which allows children to script a robot through E-toys script. The robot are made by children themselves thanks to simple low-cost I2C electronic modules interfacing the computer with the mechanical and electrical parts of the robots. The pcb (electronic schema) of the modules are available too, so you can start from this schema or buy one (contact us).
For a more precise description, see here : http://www.iutc3.unicaen.fr/serge/SqueakBot
An overview of the project is currently available (Serge, could you publish the article on the website ?)
This platform has been already tested during a summer camp, and youngs seem to like it, we plan to release the complete platform soon (probably after this summer, since we would like to test the new beta version of squeakbot during a summer camp).
Regards, Samir

Wow! Do you mind if I submit a link to your site on the LinuxRobot Wiki?
Do you have a rough estimate of how much this think costs to build? Is your software available for download? My goal is to take a working robot into a homeschool classroom (of about 5 or 6 kids, 7 and 8 years of age) and have them "plan the missions" as you say. I would like them to use E-Toys to script the robot's movements.
