[Coco] COCO Robot update.

[Frank Pittel]

You may want to look at the "picaxe" that Steve B. mentioned here on the list a while back.
Like the basic stamp they're programmed in basic. Although most models are limited in terms of
the number of IO pins they have the advantage of being VERY cheap to buy. As memory serves
their price starts at ~$3!! I'm sure we'll hear from Steve with more details! :-)
