Microsoft’s hobby/game development weblog Coding4Fun has just announced the release of Microsoft Robotics Studio. Designed to work with robotics kits like the Lego Mindstorms NXT, Robotics Studio looks like a pretty powerful toolset to get your robots running.
If you don’t have a robot kit but still want to play, Microsoft Robotics Studio includes a pretty powerful simulation environment so you can still play around.
As an owner of the original Mindstorms kit (gathering dust unfortunately), I’ve had a keen eye on the new NXT system, and this robotics studio may just push me over the edge…

Why IS your original Lego Mindstorms kit gathering dust anyway Ben?
Partly because it’s packed in a box while we’re between houses, and partly because it’s not the easiest thing in the world to develop for.
If I had unlimited cash I’d grab a NXT in a second.
I LOVE the Lego Mindstorm kit but it is gathering dust
