The Engineer’s latest issue features an article covering the pending UK launch of the LEGO Mindstorms NXT.

Once again, Soren ‘Mr. Mindstorms’ Lund gets the spotlight and outlines why this toolset is a different beast than its competitors.

“There are a lot of robotics toys out there and they’re all good, but pretty much all them are ‘what you see is what you get’,” says Mr. Lund in the article.

Evoking “slow progress” with the review kit, The Engineer says “the technical complexity of the kit suggests that if the toy is accurately pitched at today’s children, reports of falling educational standards might be exaggerated.”
