Thanks! We do think some area of robotics can and should be made a lot easier.

Lego recently released an offical android app for Mindstorms. It's cool and we definitely see it as a sign of where things can be going. We are looking into how it can be taken to the next level. And LMR is excellent for tech-savvy folks.

We think the idea of Kleekbots is really exciting and that Mindstorms and other users will think so too. We have a few business models in mind (eg pay-as-you-go) so as to be able to continue providing the service. We can see it going so very far.

We are definitely seeking community feedback from early stages, to tell us what people think of Kleekbots, what people would like to see, and especially how much people are happy to pay to take their Mindstorms (and smartphones too!) to the next level and beyond.

Thank you for the best wishes!

Thanks. Yes, the sharing functionality lets robot owners send a link to any friend or group to view live video and/or control their robot and this works wherever they are. We think this opens up further possibilities to build on...

We love Lego and many people do too. Even so, Kleekbots is designed to be toy agnostic and we think can be made to work with just about any type of toy at our end.
