Wow. I REALLY hope that Lego does not stop production of the Mindstorms
RCX as we know it. I don't know about other places, but here at RIT we
are SERIOUSLY considering using them to do some Karol the Robot type
artificial intelligence projects with students using the VB control to
write software. (actually we want to do this and are requesting budget :)
I would be very upset if we can't do this know because we can't get bricks
for the labs...
I think that more adults have these things than kids. Why doesn't Lego
just play to both markets and make an even more capable brick as well as
the "dumber" versions that are coming out ? I know the research is there
from the MIT projects, and they could make a **lot** of $$ selling
advanced kits to adult buyers. Just a thought.
