Following along with the LEGO Robotics thread . . .

We have been using a Mac version of the LEGO robotics interface during this
school year.  This product is called HyperBot and it is a standard
HyperCard stack.  By using HyperCard and the Serial Toolkit XCMDs the
children create a stack which controls an external box.  This box uses
it's own Microprocessor to control 4 sensors and 4 DC motors (or lights, etc.).
The voltage can range from 0 - 9 volts in 24 increments.  Using the 
supplied software the students can make fairly complex projects.  If they
know a little HyperTalk then they can add digitized sound, animations,
QuickTime movies, voice (MacinTalk/PlainTalk), and anything else that
you can do in HyperCard.

I know this explanation is not extremely clear or complete.  If you are
interested in details about this project I would be glad to answer them.
As of this week the Hardware and Software is final.  The documentation should
be finished by Friday.  It is really nice.  I have had two 9-week classes of
8th graders doing just HyperCard and Robotics and the projects have been
amazing.
