MindStorms Lego

So after the disappointment of there just not being enough iPod Touches available, I decided to indulge in a bit of geeky thing and combine programming Lego and purchased a one of the Lego Mindstorm kits. Now as promised I took some unboxing photos (sorry for the quality I took them at work on my phone) and after 20mins I built my first robot, which didn’t do much apart from play a small beep and then spin around the room.  Nevertheless I was full of paternal pride and I’m looking forward to making useless robots that can fire thing across a room or act as some sort of webcam thing or even have a massive robot arm attached to my desk which I can use to things at the person sitting next to me.  Yes it would seem that my only limits would be the number of ways I could injure someone ;)
