So this year I got invited to show the LEGO Wheelchair at LEGOWORLD in Copenhagen as part of the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 display. It was a fantastic event and our stand was hugely popular. The LEGO Wheelchair was pretty busy for the whole 4 days!
There where some special highlights that I wanted to show
First the LEGO Mindstorms Harlem Shake (which I was part of). This makes me laugh so much!
The next highlight for me was meeting both Jørgen Vig Knudstorp (CEO of LEGO) and Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen (Owner of LEGO) who both tried out the LEGO Wheelchair!
The other main highlight was spending time with the LEGO Mindstorms team who seriously rock. Extremely nice people!!
I also got quite a bit of time playing with the new LEGO Mindstorms EV3 set and that is a major cool bit of hardware. I think a lot of people are going to be happy when that comes out!
Woo-hoo, the LEGO Wheelchair and I will be at LEGOWORLD in Copenhagen tomorrow for the 4 day event on the Mindstorms display. If your at the show, please say hi, if your thinking of going, GO! There will be some amazing LEGO models and people to meet!
I will post some pictures and videos of the event very soon.
I was lucky enough to bump in to Lee at the BETT show in London. This is a 4 day massive education show held at the EXCEL center. Here is a very cool video of Lee showing us some LEGO EV3 models.
MakeBlock is an aluminum robotics kit powered by the Arduino. I first saw it on Kickstarter and was instantly interested as it is possible to use it with LEGO. This is the first Kickstarter project that I have backed and am very excited about it. Check it out and watch the cool video!
Well people, today is a great day for LEGO MINDSTORM fans, the next generation of the LEGO MINDSTORMS set has been announced and looks flipping awesome! I have known about this for a little while being an MCP and have been itching to spread the word however could not!
