I bought my big blue box of LEGO Mindstorm a few months ago as a Christmas present for myself. Since then I have tried building stuff from pictures in one of those Mindstorm books.
Now I'm tampering with my Johnny5. It is quite easy to build but I have yet to program it. I have just switch from NQC to Java APIs.
Looks more powerful to me.
I will post the pictures when I get me hands on some photo editing softwares.
