I would like to personally thank LEGO for reaching out to the MUP members.
First off, it was a brilliant move from a consumer market research standpoint.
Second, I must applaud them for their choice of whom they invited to
participate. I don’t think they could have picked a better set of four people
to represent the community.
I used to have lots of time to devote to my LEGO passion. However a bunch of
other responsibilities took over much of my free time. I recently started to
reclaim some of that and began devoting more time to LEGO and specifically
Mindstorms. But I started getting depressed though because it increasingly
looked like LEGO was never going to expand upon Mindstorms. This press release
was a ray of sunshine. I must say… I AM SORRY FOR LOOSING FAITH!
I am so excited about this announcement. What I most look forward to is 2 years
from now when the community has had the opportunity to take these to the next
level. I’m convinced there will be alternate programming platforms,
sensor/output extensions, interfaces to legacy RCX2.0, etc.
Thank you LEGO.
Thank you Steve, John, David, and Ralph.
