- a way to do user interface device research on EXTREMELY

-- mindstorms sensors too inaccurate for user interface controllers,
- and the central units expensive
+- LEGO has already published a robotics invention series called
+ Mindstorms, which also contains Legot bricks with touch and light
+ sensors and a central unit to control them. Even the central unit
+ is quite expensive and existing sensor not yet proper or accurate
