Web Links
First one is a great How to Build a Robot Tutorial from RoboShop.
HannoWare (12blocks – graphical programming, robots and other engineering and educational technology)
http://www.modk.it/ makes Arduino programming a little easier
Also wanted to mention there are general NXT forums at http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/mindboards and http://thenxtstep.com/smf/

Willow Garage Robotics
Scratch Programming Environment MIT’s basic drag and drop programming language (great for beginner programmers)

Freescale
Freescale Mobile Robotics Site
RobotSEE Freescale side project that is a simple robot programming language. Also see TowerGeeks for more on this project. Also check out the IMX53QSB Single board Computer.
Still looking for more info on:
The low-cost Freescale Robot ( FreeBot ) is a 4 Degrees Of Freedom walking robot with touch sensors, and a 3-axis accelerometer. The robot is a sensor programming training assistant, used in hands-on classes around the world. The robot is upgradeable with a low-cost embedded Linux computer converting it into a Linux/Android programming and Computer Vision training platform.
The video says it will be available on the Freescale website on April 4, 2011 for $199, but I can’t find it yet……..
