LEGO has announced a new version of their Mindstorms autonomous robot building system. I did a fair amount of playing around with the original Mindstorms kit way back when and created a system that allowed you to control your robots over a NetMeeting connection. The new Mindstorms NXT system sounds pretty cool. I like the idea of being able to use bluetooth to control and download programs to the robots and the new sensors sound much more complex than the old stuff.
