Bittersweet‽ What's the sweet part of Lego discontinuing Mindstorms?
2 comments

I'm not sure if bittersweet is the right word, english is not my first language. But I think the bitterness of Mindstorms ending reminding me of the beginnings of our company could be considered sweet. So I would say it's a bittersweet moment.

I have to admit, though, I never used Mindstorms and as far as I know he never bought mindstorms for his children either. ;)

They're likely shifting focus to a different programmable block product line, namely SPIKE Prime. So it's more of a changing of the guard than the end of robotic educational LEGO.
That might be okay; what's that like?
