I was looking for what kinds of languages have proliferated for the LEGO Mindstorm, and I found a Masters thesis by Andreas Junghans (Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences).
What made this thesis particularly interesting to flip through was the process Andreas went through to enable the playing of football (soccer) autonomously on the LEGO Mindstorm without the installation of alternate operating systems or the use of languages other than those that are casually accessible to young students (eg. LEGO’s own language and ROBOLAB).
This is what I love about the LEGO Mindstorm: I never cease to be amazed at what people can do with it. As limited as it is, people find ways to make it do more and more all the time.
