LEGO Festival at The Mall Athens

Here is some good news strait from Greece!! Since the 19th of May, the first LEGO Festival at The Mall Athens has started... Why post about it here you ask? well because a famous Mindstorms master builder has helped organize the Mindstorms section of this huge event! Indeed NeXTSTORM can be spotted in the video below showing off his latest creation 3it3ot along with Alpha Rex, HoloEyedBug (his new holonomic bot) and many other NXT robots.

Celebrating 25 Years of MINDSTORMS

In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of MINDSTORMS, we take a trip through history. Please also visit ROBOTMAK3RS Community every week as we highlight different projects all through 2023 in celebration of the anniversary. Some of the early history is based on the content shared by Coder Shah in our MINDSTORMS EV3 Community Group . Some of the text and links may have been edited from his original posts for consistency and clarity. 1984 - Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen watched a TV program called "Talking Turtle," where MIT professor Seymour Papert demonstrated how children could control robot "turtles" using LOGO, a programming language he developed. 1988 - The collaboration between MIT and LEGO resulted in LEGO TC Logo in 1988, which allowed students to control LEGO models using computer commands. The video shows Papert demonstrating TC Logo. 1990 - LEGO TC Logo was hampered since the robots you built had to be tethered to a personal computer. LEGO and MIT...

ROBOTMAK3RS Review: LEGO River Steamboat

I thought the LEGO River Steamboat would be an interesting set for a ROBOTMAK3R review for a few reasons. First, the LEGO designer of the model is Marina Stampoli, a long-time collaborator of the late ROBOTMAK3R Vassilis Chryssanthakopoulo s. From earlier collaborations with Vassilis, I knew Marina was incredibly talented, with an eye for aesthetics and functionality. Her background in architecture is particularly useful for her relatively new position at LEGO. Her other sets include the Magic of Disney (21352), Message Board (41839), and Red London Telephone Box (21347). Second, watching Marina's reveal video and reading her designer interview made this set even more tempting to build. The gearing mechanisms running through the model gave way to many opportunities for automation using LEGO robotics elements. Since ROBOTMAK3RS is all about adding interactivity and automation to LEGO brick, I thought it would be fun to see where and how LEGO robotics could be added to this s...

Part 3: Restoring the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor App on Windows

Summary: This blog is written by Sizlaq and is about how he restored the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor Windows app using an archived Appx installer and a backup of the app’s downloaded content. Important note: The files linked in this post are external archive downloads for the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor app and its related content. LEGO MINDSTORMS, LEGO Education and Robot Inventor are LEGO Group products/trademarks. Use these downloads only where you are legally entitled to do so and only for legitimate preservation, repair, education or personal restore purposes. I do not own the LEGO app or content, and the links are provided as a convenience for people trying to restore a legacy installation. Download and run archived software at your own risk, and scan files before installing them. Why these backups mattered The reason I started looking into this was simple: LEGO had announced that the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor apps were being discontinued...
