Re:Never, ever upgraded the platform (Score 2, Interesting)

I worked for Legoland last summer and ran a mini Mindstorm robotics camp. Lego did have an update for Mindstorm, but it was only available to educational institutions not the public. The improvements weren't that great compared to the previous set IMHO. Still, the kids had a great time with Mindstorm; however, not the way they were intended to be used. From their example, Lego should produce a Lego battle bots set.
