2013 is there and also this year The NXT STEP will keep on delivering amazing news from the MINDSTORMS universe to you.It starts with a personal pleasure to me: my new (German-speaking) 10-hours tutorial DVD "LEGO® MINDSTORMS NXT" has been presented and recommended on the official MINDSTORMS web site.
Feel free to have a look there.
Watch the trailer, too; it's in German, though, but that might be a good opportunity to finally start learning the native language of Goethe, Kant, Beethoven and Albert Einstein... ;)
