I played this at something like the 6-hour mark of today's Ed Radio broadcast (these summer days with few meetings and lots of coding time make for loooong live audio sessions). I wasn't expecting a lot, but now having seen this video, I want one. I think it's really useful and really important to help children (and adults!) be able to visualize the way computers detect the environment through sensors and make things happen in the real world through motors. Because, after all, when you come face to face with a robot, Lego or otherwise, it becomes a lot harder to dismiss it simply as 'virtual' reality.
