G'day,

My neighbour is a high school teacher and is interested in teaching his
students to program robots.  Could anyone suggest cheap robots that would be
suitable.  The robot needs to be cheap, small, robust, PC/AT programmable and
easily available in Australia.  The robot can be either mobile or a 
manipulator arm.  Addresses/fax numbers please.

I've heard LEGO and Fischerteknic (sp?) would be suitable.  Would anyone have 
(Australian) addresses/fax numbers to which I could write for their sales
brochures.

Thank you
