Here's a blast from the past in relating to domain-specific languages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Logo

I got a charming letter from Lego when I was younger suggesting that their lawyers would like to get to 'know me' because I sort of 'adjusted' the Lego control box for the Apple IIGS to have sensors like 'The Clapper'.

Doesn't it sound like a 'great' idea to have a Lego hydraulic (yes not pneumatic) system operating a pair of really sharp sissors also open and closed by Legos? I thought so....

If that sounds potentially....oh dangerous...at that particular competition a student arrived with a circular saw on a large Uncle Sam dressed mannequin on an FRC sized (this was long before FIRST) rolling platform. It wasn't anything to be concerned about the saw was only 6' off the floor with the guard open rolling on a robot plugged into the wall. I did not find it all a bit creepy the 'head' of Uncle Sam was basically circular saw.
