I finally managed to convince myself that I should buy the most expensive piece of lego I’ve ever heard of. So now I can build an army of robots to do my bidding. Well, an army of robot. I’ll need to buy more sets if i want to have multiple robots. How do evil geniuses ever afford global domination plans?

The pic above is the first of my own design, after building the rather cute TriBot that the boxed set tutorial guides you through. Roma, as I call him, isn’t exactly going to lead a march on the capital just yet, but he can explore a room, backing up and changing direction if he encounters an obstacle, after issuing a robotic ‘ouch!’ in complaint.

The visual programming environment for the AI is very cool. A nice simple layout that allows you to do basic programming without a lot of clutter, but with the ability to do far more complicated things once you’re ready.
