CES hasn't even begun, but new companies are already having
press conferences to announce new products. The one company I
truly didn't expect to have a presence at CES, however, was
Lego.
In a surprising turn off events, Lego took the opportunity of
CES to announce the new Mindstorms set, named Mindstorms EV3.
Mindstorms EV3 apparently runs on a custom Linux OS, and is
designed to be easily controlled and programmed via Android or
iOS. The new intelligence brick also features an SD card slot
and the ability to do basic programming from the brick itself.
Lego also seemsto be pushing the infrared port as a impressive
new feature.
I'm in Vegas right now, having a good time while I wait for the
showroom floor to open on Tuesday. Once I'm there I'll decently
be checking this out further and reporting back to you guys, and
talking lots of pictures/video, so stay tuned!
(I bet Lego doesn't expect a lot of AFOLs on the showroom floor
=P )

Aaaaaaah!!!!! Your there?!?! Take lots and lots of photos
please! This has practically been my obsession in all my free
time, and I still don't know all the details! I skimped out of
buying the 2.0, and was stuck with lo-tech for 6 years. I am now
seriously considering plunking down the cash. (I owe it to
myself, I haven't bought any lego for 2-3 years other than
minifigures) only thing I'm confused about is the pronunciation.
I'm sure it's Ee Vee three, but I can't help calling it eve.
Ironically, I called this name back when I got the NXT. Figured
the next generation would be refered to evolution in some way.
If possible, could you try and get some info on the programming
for me? From the lo-res shots it looks completely different from
the NXT-G, but I couldn't make out any details. Also any shots
of the EV3 screen would be awesome. Alright, I'll stop with the
requests. You enjoy yourself down there and thanks for
volunteering to take some pics!
