	LEGO MINDSTORMS Internals
		Each team was given a MINDSTORMS kit, rules, and three weeks to prepare a robot that could navigate one of three possible maze routes.
		He discovered that the micro switches from a MS mouse and a Logitech mouse are the exact width of the inside dimensions of a 2x LEGO brick.
		Lego is obviously cutting costs by omitting all these parts in RCX 1.5 and 2.0.

	Lego Mindstorms: What Went Wrong?
		Lego launched the Lego Mindstorms line of programmable toy brick construction sets with a lot of fanfare back in the fall of 1998, but in recent years the company has lost all enthusiasm for the Mindstorms line.
		Lego was correct in attempting to broaden its customer base with the Mindstorms line as it seems to be selling all it can to the younger age groups.
		Lego is unwilling to recognize that it is not selling a system of play but only a particular kind of play, and the market for that kind of play has become saturated.

		As the two groups of legs are not synchronized, it tilts forward or backward during its progression, resulting in a rather irregular and jolting walking.
		This walker is openly inspired to a model found in a Lego Technic Idea Book, but it's been heavily modified to allow the robot to change its direction and avoid obstacles.

		Steve Hassenplug is sitting in a van with seven other people on the way to a Lego convention in Washington, DC, explaining the limitations of Lego's previous robot-building kit, called Mindstorms.
		The original Mindstorms systems, cool as they may have been at the time, look like children's toys from an 8-bit world.
		Steve's love for the new Mindstorms NXT is infectious enough that we had to take a look at the new system, so we hauled a system into the lab for inspection.

	JP Brown's Serious LEGO - CubeSolver
		In Jan 2001 fellow Mindstorms forums user 'agiecco' announced his intention to work on a robotic solution and, simultaneously, I saw that Rubik's Cubes were on sale at www.target.com.
		The color recognition is fairly robust (about one error every two cubes when well-calibrated), but not perfect, so I incorporated a feature that requires you to confirm that each face has been correctly scanned (and, optionally, allows you to correct the input manually) before it scans the next face.

	Creating a Spider Robot using LEGO-Mindstorms
		As a consequence hereof we obtained a large amount of LEGO bricks from their Technics line, as well as access to their, yet to be released, LEGO Mindstorms programmable brick, the RCX.
		It was part of the deal with LEGO, to use their equipment for robot building in a one semester course, in the spring of 1998, at the Institute of Computer Science at Aarhus University.
		The presentation gave me the idea for this project namely, to construct a walking insect robot using LEGO and their programmable brick, the RCX, which is to be used in the Mindstorms construction sets.

		Although I received my Lego Mindstorms NXT kit in the mail early last week, it wasn't until yesterday that I really had a chance to dig in, spending a whole day working through the included instructions.
		It seems that most Lego builders will be running out of space for their own programs soon after they begin to write their own.
		The lack of guidance after the initial projects is something that ruined the original Mindstorms for me. I have no experience in engineering, and clearly didn't have the mind for it, so beyond those models I was lost as to what to do next.
