Rubotz is a code generator and compiler wrapper for NXC, a language  
for Lego Mindstorms NXT robots. This is a proof-of-concept release  
which supports only one sensor and a subset of available motor  
functionality.

Using the library it is currently possible to write and compile  
programs for Lego Mindstorms NXT robots entirely in Ruby. Better  
support for sensors, motors, and multi-threading should appear in  
future releases.

I think it’s time to stop making excuses and finally go out and buy  
one of these. Cool beans man.
