Yesterday LEGO announced that they had picked their 100 beta testers. They represent a broad cross section of blah, blah, blah. I’m not sure if I should be annoyed that I didn’t get picked or feel sorry for our buddy Jason Striegel who seems to be the only person that was officially denied. Oh well, time to go spend this extra $150 on Mega Bloks.
[via the excellent Nextbrick]
then go.

You already got your hack of the day, and hackaday is a blog with a certain target audience. After delivering a hack on any given day I don’t see the harm in posting other news that readers might find interesting. You don’t have to read what you don’t like anyway, no one’s forcing you.

why grumble about bonus material, this news was posted here before it made it to engadget, or /. yet. So why not?

I got email from LEGO – dated 27 Feb, saying I was not one of the 100 testeres….
Now how am I to take over the world ?

we both know someone on the committee did some googling, found the sex bots on hackaday, and deemed us all too irreverant for the hype phase of their product launch.
are there any had readers that have been accepted? post something anonymously and give use all the dirt on the new hardware.

What I cant believe is that you guys didnt notice br0 for what he really was. A troll. I cant help but agree with him in some manner, though.

Don’t worry pantsman. We noticed that you and br0 have the same email address… and that you used to post as bob… complaining about trolls: http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000653064392/#c538956

The old rcx brick was plenty powerful to do all kinds of things. Once you replace the firmware. I’ve seen a lego mindstorms bot balance wheels like a segway and follow a line.
It just used homebrew sensors, and much more efficient, capable firmware.
Hopefully this will have a decent amount of IO, or at least a way to access it. 3 outs and 3 ins isnt enough.
