''A Free '''ROBOT''' ought to do '''MORE''', won't you '''AGREE'''?''

This place is a little webspace dedicated to hack around the '''LEGO "8527" MindStorms NXT''' set using only '''free, open-source software'''. Not only does it fit my obsessions with FOSS, it's also:

* '''Fun''' because you have to overcome issues, gather a community, and work harder to get it done: that's rewarding, as it is always when you achieve stuff that other people don't; [but the "hard" part is a joke, it's actually quite easy, even for kids]
* Quite '''Ethical''', since I only use FOSSoftware, but that's more of a political standpoint/debate and we shall no more speak further about this side of it;
* '''True''' to The spirit of Robotics Programming because you will have to drop this NXT-G so-called ''"Graphical Environment"'' and start dirty your hands C-like, and that get us back to Reason One: '''Fun'''. It is where the fun begins. With a Free Mind, a Free Source. Oh, and then: did I mention '''A Free Robot'''.

Feel free to contribute, if like me you are freeing your Brick with a GNU/Linux box using OpenSource Software.

==='''''!! Free Your 'Bot !!'''''===

OK, this site is in its infancy, and I am obviously starting campaigning to fill it with your help; Please contribute [[NXT Snippets]] or just download them and debug/discuss them on the [[Talk:NXT Snippets|Snippets Discussion]] page.

By software, scripts and graphical interfaces, the objective is to program our "Free Bots" doing fun things in either nbc, nxc, python, perl,... languages. Then, hopefully, we'll gather here some lejos, pbLua and so forth freaks too. [http://eblf.zenerves.net/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup&returnto=Main_Page ''Care to join'']? In true [[Wiki spirit]], there is no need to register to participate.

While this is just the starting point, lets organise ourselves: If you want to publish something here, welcome, most warmly; at the moment knowledge is to be categorized between links, Howto, Software, Hardware and Snippets. Feel free to self-categorize your contributions, I'll do the cleaning later!
