When I was still in UK, I happened to meet a friend in Sheffield. He impressed me with a lot of things and ideas, but one thing stood out – his kids are messing around with Lego Mindstorm, and it was the first time I encountered it.
I thought I’d buy it for my kids, but it’s rather hard to find. Then I got busy with other things.
Today I read a post on Slashdot.org regarding Mindstorms and lack of its popularity in Lego. Thankfully, a poster told about a (seemingly worthy) competitor – FischerTechnik
When my kids have grown up a bit more, I’d like to buy a few pieces of this, and get them started in (robotics) engineering; and see if they’re interested on it. If not, I can always put the kit available for loan, to whoever could use it.
Heck, it may be a good idea to create a robotic club, so my kids would be more enthusiastic about this (since they’ll be doing it with others).
If you know of other good alternative to Lego Mindstorms, do feel free to comment.
Thanks.
masih nyimpen lego mindstorm di gudang 🙂
#1 – lah, .. … pinjem 🙂
atau mau dijual ? he he
lego mindstorm merupakan cita-cita, tapi untuk saat ini (mungkin) hanya impian semata 🙁
apakah ada yang berkenan meng-hibah-kan lego mindstorm ?
saya tertarik dengan mikrokontroler apalagi robotika, namun ternyata masih susah nyari bahan-bahannya (saya hidup di jogja). Terutama modal duitnya 🙁
atau mungkinkah ada tutorial/link tentang mikrokontroler yang memanfaatkan barang-barang bekas atau kanibal, misalnya dari hardisk atau cd/dvdrw bekas ? hardisk jarang yang motor spindle-nya mati, cd/dvdrw juga cuman optiknya yang biasanya mati.
sayang komponen yang masih hidup cuman dibuang percuma.
matur nuwun 🙂
agus santoso – kabar gembira, kini sudah ada buku lokal yang membahas topik ini : Robotika: Disain, Kontrol dan Kecerdasan Buatan, terbitan Andi Publisher. Karangan Endra Pitowarno.
Enjoy.
Di Surabaya(?) dan Jakarta (Kelapa Gading) ada kursusnya, silakan kontak:
