Title: 
Basic Introduction to Programming Robots

Abstract:
I plan to give a low-key introduction to programming robots, specifically a Lego Mindstorm robot, using the Java programming language.  This should be a nuts 'n' bolts talk -- you, a computer, a robot -- how do you make the robot move, sing, react?

The talk will be aimed at as general an audience as possible -- anyone who has programmed anything, using any language, should be able to follow along.
