I can update them individually or both at the same time through ping. I'm sure there are other ways of linking things...maybe some of you can share??
http://facebook.com/twitter for Facebook-to-Twitter posting.

You can select what type of updates (status, videos, events, etc) get sent to Twitter.

Pages are also better than Groups because any status/photos/etc you post are displayed on a Fan's News Feed, just like a normal profile. Pages can also add applications and boxes like a normal profile.
And last, but certainly not least, Pages have the ability to use "usernames", so you can use Facebook.com/BedfordRobotics instead of Facebook.com/pages/Bedford-Robotics/337645538661.
