Hi there,

I’m Evan.

My interest is Lego robotics from before the Mindstorms generation. Most people aren’t aware these existed :slight_smile: so I made a website all about it at www.mindsbeforethestorm.com … rest assured, I don’t sell anything, the site is strictly educational.

Hi there @ekoblentz :grinning:

Thanks for sharing! And sorry to hear about the trademark infringement :upside_down_face:

I’m curious about what made you want to create the website, seems like you are the kind of person who enjoys sharing some knowledge so maybe you’ll be interested in the Tutorials section, or maybe even in the Robot projects, where you can share your Lego Robots or just look at the cool robot designs from other members haha.

Welcome to the forum, I hope to see you posting :wink:

Hi Evan, and welcome to the forum.

Cool website :slight_smile: Looks like a Wikipedia for Lego Robots :smiley:

You’re welcome! Thanks for the warm introduction.

My reasons for creating the site are explained at http://www.mindsbeforethestorm.com/about.php.

I’ll check out the tutorials section here, but mostly like I will make some Youtube videos. Not sure when I’ll have the time though.

You’ve put a lot of work into this and the links are fantastic. Also, as a retail toy store owner with a love for toys, I love this piece. Funny that LEGO contacted you and of course, not to say, hey great work but. Sounds very much like working with LEGO.
