   The one thing that really struck me about this interview was the way the guests kept talking as if only children built using NXT. I think it would be interesting to try to get more of an AFOM (Adult Fan of Mindstorms) perspective. Otherwise, it was a good interview and I enjoyed hearing from the NXT perspective. For my part, I have both old and new Mindstorms but haven’t managed to do anything with them. Maybe it’s because I write software for my day job, or maybe I am just more comfortable with basic bricks?
