You can argue that the electronics themselves are not that interesting, or that they are overpriced. That may be true. But Lego's manufacturing quality and QA is legendary. The fact that these robotics kits are seamlessly compatible with the entire system opens up some really fun possibilities.
I would recommend visiting a fan exhibition when things get back to normal. The things people come up with are astounding. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFD2e3IxO_c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFD2e3IxO_c is the readiest example I could find).
- sonofhans 6y agoSeconded. Literally 100% of the Lego I have from the early 1970s works perfectly with brand new sets.
- tpmx 6y agoA culture of consistent product management strongly embedded into the company DNA ("The Lego System") is important for something like this to happen. Without it high quality manufacturing and QA won't help.

- lsaferite 6y agoThe care they take in crafting new parts and the geometries involved is really insane.
