| | Re: Mindstorms 3.0 Wish List
|
| (...) Lots of interesting ideas in this thread! But I feel the need to point out that the 3.0 has to still be 'kid friendly'. The RCX is designed for ages 12 and up, the 3.0 should be in the same age range, otherwise Lego loses a huge part of their (...) (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
