My first 'robot' was about 45 years ago. It was a fairly dumb robotic arm 
used for testing tantalum capacitors. The brain, as it were, was a Z80 
with the low level done in assembler with hooks for the engineers who 
worked in Pascal. Pascal wasn't a great fit but it was what the University 
of Maine used as a didactic language and what they knew.

What I could have done with a RPi or even a Pico...

Good idea though. I start having problems when the hardware gets smaller 
than 4-40.
