My officemate Mike Saari (saari@eng.sun.com) has been programming
robots in Forth for some time.  He used to work at Androbot before
it folded.  Recently, he won first prize at some robot race competition,
using his (Androbotic) Topo robot with ultrasonic sensors and Forth
navigation software.

He is currently building a new robot with some people from the (I think)
home brew robotics club.  It will be controlled with 68HC11 chips
programmed in Forth.
