I really like this idea (robotics is one of my passions and anything that makes it easier is awesome).
Didn't mindstorms just come out with an android app? Does that effect you guys at all?
You definitely have that social aspect going for you but you'll be competing against Let's Make Robots which seems to be emerging as a leader in the robotics based social network space. You guys look prettier than LMR which is a plus and you seem to targeting the less tech-savvy among us who may be intimidated by LMR.
What's your plan to make money? I can't seem to find that anywhere.
Good luck to you!
- nxter 16y agoThanks! We do think some area of robotics can and should be made a lot easier. Lego recently released an offical android app for Mindstorms. It's cool and we definitely see it as a sign of where things can be going. We are looking into how it can be taken to the next level. And LMR is excellent for tech-savvy folks. We think the idea of Kleekbots is really exciting and that Mindstorms and other users will think so too. We have a few business models in mind (eg pay-as-you-go) so as to be able to continue providing the service. We can see it going so very far. We are definitely seeking community feedback from early stages, to tell us what people think of Kleekbots, what people would like to see, and especially how much people are happy to pay to take their Mindstorms (and smartphones too!) to the next level and beyond. Thank you for the best wishes!
