Vale LEGO MINDSTORMS with Special Guest: BrickJournal's Joe Meno

In the final week of October, the LEGO Group announced that the 51515 Mindstorms Robot Inventor set will be retired at the end of the year, a little over 2 years after its release. The App will also enter its sunset phase - with the development team deployed throughout the LEGO group.

Jay and Richard are joined by BrickJournal's Editor-In-Chief Joe Meno, who among other things is involved with FIRST LEGO League. He helps us learn more about the history and significance of the Mindstorms brand, what he thinks of this announcement, as well as what lies ahead for robotics and programming.
