Announcing SimpleBot: the simplest BrickPi model.  Weighing in at a total of 46 parts(most of them are connectors) and two motors, this minimalist design uses as few parts as possible. We have building instructions and sample code all up on the SimpleBot page.  SimpleBot is a great place to start for a first robot with the BrickPi!

The folks at Tufts CEEO have been working with a BrickPi over the past few weeks.  They have been working to bring the graphical programming language BlockyTalky to the BrickPi and Raspberry Pi. Wait, what’s the BrickPi?  The BrickPi is a device that brings the Raspberry Pi to LEGO Mindstorms.

Update 8/2013: Our kickstarter has been funded and the BrickPi is now for sale here. We’ve just launched a Kickstarter campaign for the BrickPi!  We’ve had a phenomenal response, surpassing our funding goal by over 800% in just a few days. The BrickPi is a culmination of some of the blog posts and projects we’ve done over the last few...

We’ve just launched a Kickstarter campaign for the BrickPi!  We’ve had a phenomenal response, surpassing our funding goal by over 800% in just a few days. The campaign is fully funded, but that doesn’t mean the work is over.  Please take a look and give us your thoughts: on the design, the models we built, and what we could...

Last week we held a small contest to see who could guess what our mystery projects were. This week, we reveal the answers, as well as the winner.

We give away a free LEGO MINDSTORMS dCompass sensor for folks that take a crack at guessing what we're working on in our lab.

A free giveaway of the dLight for LEGO MINDSTORMS.

Introducting the dLight, an LED light system for the LEGO MINDSTORMS. Let there be light!

Since we first got the Raspberry Pi, we have wanted to make a robot out of it. There aren't many kits out there yet that let you do that (yet). This HowTo shows you how we hacked together a motor controller from the Raspberry Pi and used it to control LEGO MINDSTORMS Motors.
