Current mission statement: building every single one of the amazing #mindstorms builds at onekitprojects.com/51515

A #mindstorms tip for newbies like me. If your hub's gyro sensor isn't producing output even when it's moving, make sure you're keeping the hub PERFECTLY still when you turn it on. Give it a few seconds to finish calibrating before you start moving it.

If you have the #mindstorms #51515 Robot Inventor kit, github.com/maarten-pennin… is an amazing resource.

And the best bit of that FAQ is that it's updated with the changes for each #mindstorms Robot Inventor software release: github.com/maarten-pennin… Otherwise I haven't found any official change log or release notes from Lego - anyone know? #robotinventor

Speaking of lack of #mindstorms software release announcements, did you know machine learning features (!) got added in August? You can be setting up your robot creations to recognise audio and image inputs in no time - great demo here youtube.com/watch?v=yJnz-E…

I love this vertically hanging wallplotter #mindstorms design - it's on the to-build list! voot.de/projects/lego-…

Yet another amazing Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 build from #onekitbuilds - this time a working slot machine machine. youtube.com/watch?v=N6I5Df…

This isn't strictly Mindstorms (my particular topic of interest), but the player piano / sequencer idea build with motors and Technic is amazing. youtube.com/watch?v=BlaY8k…

Amazing RC car build with a Technic gearbox, and loved the documented process of first building the components separately to prove concepts, then working out how to make it very compact. youtube.com/watch?v=Uyuv2f…

As someone who only discovered Mindstorms in the last 5 months and has been enjoying it immensely, that's very disappointing indeed. brickfanatics.com/lego-discontin…
