	Lego Mindstorms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lego Mindstorms is a line of Lego Group products combining programmable bricks with electric motors, sensors, Lego bricks, and Lego Technic pieces (such as gears, axles, beams, and pneumatic parts) to build robots and other automated or interactive systems.
		Lego Mindstorms may be used to build a model of an embedded system with computer-controlled electromechanical parts.
		The original Mindstorms RIS was released in 1998.

	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.
		Mindstorms sets are generic: the typical Technic set is designed to assemble into one specific model, but this is not so with the Mindstorms sets.
		The Mindstorms line was Lego's attempt at achieving substantial revenue growth by broadening its customer base to include older children and adults; however, Lego ended up selling the Mindstorms sets primarily to its existing customers.

	Expanded MindStorms FAQ at MROB
		The LEGO®; MindStorms family of products consists of a kit (9719 Mindstorms Robotics Invention System) currently available in the United States for $200, and a series of add-on kits and accessories, which together can be used to build a wide variety of simple autonomous robots.
		MindStorms users building robots generally limit themselves to the Technic line, which is oriented towards older children and includes gears and axles for building mechanical models, like cars with working steering wheels and the like.
		With the standard Mindstorms package, you get two motors, so your choices are fairly limited to a robot that can manuver and use sensors, or a robot that sits still and can move pieces around a fixed base.

	Chapter 17: Lego MindStorms
		Lego MindStorms (http://www.legomindstorms.com) is a ``Robotics Invention System'' which consists of a number of Lego parts and a microcomputer called the RCX, plus an infra-red transmitter (connected to the serial port of an ordinary computer) and various sensors and motors.
		MindStorms is a pretty cool system, that can be driven at a number of levels.
		This was illustrated with Lego MindStorms, where a large part of the base work of native code libraries and encapsulation in Java classes has already been done.

	Ada/Mindstorms 3
		The goal of the Academy’s basic computing science course is to impart a strong core competency in all aspects of computing for all future Air Force officers.
		Mindstorms robots can receive input in a variety of forms, including light intensity, temperature, and a pulse when an input sensor is pressed.
		There are many features planned for future releases of Ada/Mindstorms, including support for tasking, separate compilation, and the addition of a 2-d virtual “world” to the simulator that would permit the simulation of actual robot designs in target environments.

		If you don't know what Lego Mindstorms® is, please visit the Official Lego Mindstorms site.
		This biped needs not to move its Center of Gravity to walk, as each leg is U-shaped and able to support the whole robot when the other leg is lifted.
		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.

		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.

		It replaces the Mindstorms visual programming language with a programming environment more like conventional computing languages, based on the language Ada.
		The builtin Mindstorms programming language is great for children, but isn't as well suited to teaching basic computer science concepts like variables, procedures with parameters, and so forth.
		Ada/Mindstorms has been used at the college level to teach both CS and Robotics concepts, but it also works well at the high school and even middle school levels.
