An advatage of Mindstorms is that it requires zero months of learning
electronics, and that the mechanics are something that many people (children
and adults!) are already very familiar with. One can make a bounce-and-twirl
robot within a few hours, and then move on to more interesting things.
That's a lot more fun than 18 months of learning curve!
