emily Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news-room/2017/january/lego-boost/ https://www.lego.com/en-us/boost This fall Lego brings to us a brand new robotics-based product: Lego Boost! The parts included can build you five different models that show off the different sorts of programming stuff you're able to accomplish with the free app that commands the robotic bits. This reminds me of CyberMaster in that it's a budget/kid-friendly alternative to Mindstorms, but the similarities end there. What do you think? Does that cat look as creepy to any of you as it does to me? The Ace Railgun and Ben24x7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben24x7 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think I'll just wait 'till it comes out, and see what people do with it before placing my general opinion... ...but the idea of a cheaper version of LEGO Mindstorms? Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidenpons Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Is that one motor with the set? One motor? One motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main controller has at least one built-in motor (maybe more, haven't checked)... does that count? EDIT: Rest in pieces, old brick-style cables, and RIP every Power Functions accessory currently out on the market.https://education.lego.com/en-us/support/wedo-2/faqs#core Looks like the connectors used in WeDo 2.0 & Boost will eventually replace the PF & Mindstorms connectors.
