I tend to agree with Matthew Miller. I've also worked at an ISP, and the
technially sophisticted customers generally called once. I'd give 'em the
info they needed, and they could handle the rest.

But it isn't, in this case. Mindstorms is quite sufficient to A) teach
simple robotics & programming ideas, and B) *play* with. As long as people
can make the distinction between "isn't quite what I want/would have
designed" and "isn't quite what I was sold", then there isn't a problem.
As long as LEGO makes it clear they only support their own software and
hardware, I don't see how they'd have a beef. Apart, perhaps from the
purist disdain for any non-Lego components.
