It was interesting moment during the last weekend. The friends of mine visited me and found the Lego Mindstorm which was forgotten on the table after several unsuccessful attempts to tune it up, write something for it and the last but not the least to see the result. I was really surprised because they forget everything and began to play with it as it was the best thing in the world. We programmed the sensors in a way we saw in videos on youtube.com web-page – now our scorpion tries to bite if it sees something close to his “eyes”.

Actually I thought that robots are attractive for kinds, may be for teenagers who are interested in engineering sciences. But it turned out, that for 23 years old mans who are not too old and serious, but adults such kind of robots is very exciting. After that 2 of them said that they were going to buy a set of Logo Mindstorm on Monday.

For this kind of people those robots cannot be called educational, because they’ve already know foundations of programming, engineering and other sciences which educational robotics usually helps to study. I’m not actually sure that they will get some imaginary knowledge from playing with robots, but I definitely thing that it is good to have such practice.
