Lego picks 100 for Mindstorms developer program
Friday was a lucky day for 100 Lego fans from around the world.
That's because Lego picked the 100, who come from 26 countries and range in age from 18 to 75, to join the Mindstorms Developer Program.
As such, the 100--who join 14 people that have already been participating in the program for months--will be the first to get their hands on the new robot toys. The idea, Lego said, is that the developers will help the company root out any problems while the new Mindstorms generation is still in beta.
Ultimately, the toys will be available to the public and any buyer will have the opportunity to design any kind of robot they can imagine using the system.
