This Warehouse Project shows the power and flexability of the LEGO Mindstorm kit. It uses Microsoft BizTalk, Windows Workflow Foundation and C# to stitch everything together. Watch the demo of the system in action where a SMS message from a cell phone activates the system, the first robot grabs a box from the warehouse and delivers it to the second robot which drives the package to its destination.

I love the Mindstorms stuff. We didn’t have it when I was growing up, but when I was around 11 years old or so, I took at class at one of the math and science centers where I grew up. The class was on Saturdays, which was kind of a bummer. Anyway, the class taught us how to interface Lego projects we built with a computer via a control board. I believe the computer was an Apple ][E
The software we used was LOGO. Does anyone remember LOGO? 🙂

Brings back memories of the First Robotics competition from back in elementary school. Back then we used the version 1.1 RCX (the pretty yellow one).

I would really like to get a mind storm set to mess around with. Its a shame my wife does not share the same tech/toy ambitions that I do 🙁

I’ve been wanting to do this for some other cheap automations around my work… I’m not a programmer tho (yet?)
Where would I even start to learn the programming?
I wouldn’t need ALL of the features here (ie: sms)
