You're already mentioning stuff that's beyond us wrenching types. 
What's a BDM connection?  BP and I are looking for tools to help us
with a "hands on" approach.  Doesn't matter what processor is used, as
long as the end result doesn't confuse the issue.  I think the idea
with the robotics mention was maybe finding books or projects that are
less intended for engineering courses.
