Lego Mindstorms Robotics [closed]

Proposed Q&A site for both new and experienced users of the Lego MINDSTORMS robotics kits (NXT, RCX, WeDo, etc). Other users could include the Mindstorms Developer Partners, and various developers of both hardware and software for the Lego Mindstorms robotics platform.

I would have better read a real Lego Q&A site than a specific Mindstorms Q&A one. Indeed, as AFOL community grows, there are more and more groups about specific Lego tricks (like SNOTS ones). I believe changing this group from Mindstorms specific to full Lego universe would raise far more interest. – Riduidel Jul 1 '10 at 10:02

@Riduidel: Perhaps. However, the AFOLs in the mainstream area which you speak may have little to no grasp of electronics and computing, which the larger proportion of this proposal is about. Also, I fear that the number of non-robotic lego questions you can ask is limited. Mainstream lego is more about showing off ideas, rather than finding out information. Just my two cents – Eric Jul 7 '10 at 20:11

There are a proposal for general Lego. It might be better to use this with tag mindstorm instead of having a separate site for Mindstorms. – awe Aug 4 '10 at 9:00
