[Robotgroup] Basic Stamp stuff

[Andre Lamothe]

That sounds great. Even without the stamps in them, they are still very 
useful. There are a lot of people on the learning curve of microcontrollers, 
so I think they can put them to better use.

Andre',

The DPRG has a surplus of Board of Education boards, we have a lack of
Stamps to put on them.  I will happily send down some extra B.O.E's with
Rick A. after this weekend.  How does four boards sound?  And would yall
want some of the nx-1000 (I think thats the model) experimentor boards?

There's only 2 guys up here that like / use the stamp up here, and we have
2 scribblers, a boe-bot, and 3 other robots that use the boe board so I just
dont see us ever using these extra boards.  I am sure their electronic
feelings would be better if they were "employed" down in Austin =)

P.S. - I WOULD happily accept a spare stamp mcu so if someone managed
to fry one somehow on one of our robots, that we would still have a spare.
