We've mentioned Mindstorms before, and for those interested there is an update from LEGO on the way (it is described by Wikipedia as "Lego sets combining programmable bricks with electric motors, sensors, Lego bricks, and Lego Technic pieces (such as gears, axles, and beams)."

Francesco has kindly sent us detals of what he spotted at the Nuremberg Toy Fair (the world biggest Toy Fair) last week, specifically a new LEGO ROBOT - Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0.

"The Mindstorms have been redesigned and a new color sensor has been added in the set," he writes. "I love the new mecha design and I'm pretty sure will be loved by electronics engineers of all ages!"

Check out (the Italian website) www.hobbymedia.it for the full details.
