Re: LOGO-L> LOGO - AN OUTSIDERS QUESTION

[Michael Tempel <michaelt@media.mit.edu>]

Yes, that's right. A major part of work with Logo has been in turtle
geometry, both on the screen and with mechanical turtles.

For background information on Logo and turtles, and for information about
sources of public domain and free software visit the Logo Foundation Web
site at http://el.www.media.mit.edu/logo-foundation/

I don't know about the circuit diagram, but turtles can be built fron
various Logo robotics kits including those from LEGO Dacta and Terrapin
Software.  Also look at the information about the programmable brick and
related projects at
http://el.www.media.mit.edu/groups/el/projects/programmable-brick/

...hope that helps.
