In case you’ve missed it, the Robotics Investigation Force site has been updated and the first mission is available. I must say that this is a wonderful way to expand the LEGO Mindstorms NXT beyond the standard kit robots. Please check it out.

The Robotics Investigation Force was created to investigate the Unusual, the Unexplainable, and the Unimaginable. Using a Mindstorms NXT Robotics kit, agents can elect to take on certain missions for the Robotics Investigation Force. Mission Details are downloaded by an agent in the ‘R.I.F. Mission File’ — a collection of PDF files that contains everything the agent needs to fulfill a mission’s objectives. Completion of the assignment is left to the agent, and there is no deadline or required completion time. Each mission typically involves the agent using a MissionBot to assist with the investigation.

Thanks for the email Rick!
