You know, I initially thought this was spam, and it's kinda not in the spirit of this site, but these things sure are cool. But they're SO easy that you'd get bored with them after a couple of hours.

That some pretty sophisticated programming though.

I love the concept of these. The modular design is awesome and the idea of plugging together modules with multiple processors working together is awesome.

I agree, and I appreciate the effort that went in to making these, but I still prefer to do it myself. At 300 bucks for 20 blocks though.... If I had young kids interested in electronics I might think about buying them.

The thing that bugs me though is that they have separate blocks for "inverse, max, min, etc etc" when you know in reality these are the exact same block with slightly different programming. It'd be cooler if there was a switch on one "think" block that made it decide what to do. (Cheaper that way too).
