Nearly any programming system which can use HTTP and parse text can be
used to build robots. Now that Allegiant Technologies has published
Marionet, there's a fair number of Mac folks using Director, SuperCard,
and HyperCard discussing robot building.

To help stave off a potential onslaught of porrly-designed robots built
from such high-level systems, I'm doing everything I can to make sure
everyone has a chance to read "A Standard for Robot Exclusion" and
"Guidelines for Robot Writers". Put a link to these on your web page,
and pray along with me. :)
