[svlug] legos

[Paul Reiber]

I have the NXT set.  It rocks.  Way better - uses the "tecnic" lego
set instead of the square stuff.
Done right, NXT-based robots can tumble down the steps and not break.
Pretty cool.
It's got bluetooth as well... which may be my path of least resistance
for integration w. Linux.

20 years ago, when I was doing industrial robotics, I dreamed that
someday there'd be toys
like these for kids (young and old) to learn with... and here they are.

Best,
