 | | What's next for MindStorms —Simeon H.K. Fitch
|
| | | I've noticed that the price of the MindStorm accessory packs has been dropping, and that Lego has introduced new sets for just about every line /except/ MindStorms (and Technic, Bionicle excluded). What's going on??? Has Lego got something really (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | I think there are plans for new kits and the theme is spying. If you go to the legomindstorms site and login you will see that there is a game about spying (found under community/games/ then chose Robohunter 2). Further, if you go to Amazon (see (...)

| | | | | (...) Thanks to you amazon.com reference, I did some searching and came up with this review: (URL) it doesn't seem to be a true MindStorms kit. Here's a quote from the reviewer: "...the Spybotics line draws its roots from the ever-popular MindStorms (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | It looks like it's more along the lines of the micro-scout, but it sounds a bit more capable. The $60 price can include more smarts, because there aren't that many lego parts with each, only about 200. I'll bet AFOL's can find a lot more to do with (...)

| | | | | | (...) Yeh, 200 parts for $60 isn't all that great of a deal. Actually, the pictures make it look like the kit is just a big computer/motor brick with wheels. However, I've got to admit the three-spoked wheel looks pretty cool! (...) That's the hunch (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | I also ran a search and found the portfolio of someone who worked on the project: (URL) are photos of the original ideas for the sypbots and the beacon. Interesting to see how much the spybots changed. Info at this site says they won't be released (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)
