   My first 'robot' was about 45 years ago. It was a fairly dumb robotic arm   
   used for testing tantalum capacitors. The brain, as it were, was a Z80   
   with the low level done in assembler with hooks for the engineers who   
   worked in Pascal. Pascal wasn't a great fit but it was what the University   
   of Maine used as a didactic language and what they knew.   
      
   What I could have done with a RPi or even a Pico...   
      
   Good idea though. I start having problems when the hardware gets smaller   
   than 4-40.
