Dave Baum's Definitive Guide to LEGO Mindstorms
The MINDSTORMS Robotics Invention System from LEGO is a new kind of toy. True to its heritage, it contains a generous assortment of LEGO pieces that snap, slide, and click into place with amazing simplicity. Nearly all of the pieces can interlock with one another, sometimes in rather unusual ways....

The MINDSTORMS Robotics Invention System from LEGO is a new kind of toy. True to its heritage, it contains a
generous assortment of LEGO pieces that snap, slide, and click into place with amazing simplicity. Nearly all of the
pieces can interlock with one another, sometimes in rather unusual ways. What sets MINDSTORMS apart, however, is
LEGO's Programmable Brick, called the RCX. Sensors and motors can be attached to the RCX (again with LEGO's
hallmark simplicity), and suddenly the RCX brings a LEGO model to life. It not only moves, but also senses and
responds to its environment.
Robotics itself is nothing new. Industrial robots have been in use for years and are constantly getting more
sophisticated. Likewise, hobbyists have been able to build their own robots for quite a while. Even so, creating robots
(even simple ones) has been out of reach for most people. The problem was that constructing robots typically involved
soldering, metalworking, and other skills, along with a healthy dose of computer programming. MINDSTORMS has
changed all of that. No soldering is required, nor any welding, cutting, or gluing. Even programming has been made
easiera graphical interface allows commands to be "stacked" together almost as easily as LEGO bricks themselves.
MINDSTORMS is an exciting toy. With it, children can learn mechanical design, engineering, and computer
programming while they are playing. MINDSTORMS has equal appeal to adults. As a result, MINDSTORMS robots
are popping up everywherenot just in classrooms and toys stores, but also at conventions and, trade shows, and even
around the office. This is a good thing. Somewhere along the way many adults forget how important it is to just play,
and MINDSTORMS is a nice reminder. |
