LEGO® Mindstorm is a cool robot kit designed by LEGO, but there hasn’t been a good way to connect it to the internet — until now! The BrickPi helps you use LEGO® Mindstorm sensors, motors, and parts to build a robot that can connect to the web to send or receive information, for remote control, or even be networked together. Swap out the Mindstorm NXT or EV3 Brick for the BrickPi-Raspberry Pi duo to get internet connectivity and at half the cost.

Turning Raspberry Pi into a Robot
The Raspberry Pi has enthralled the STEM education world. A tiny, credit card sized computer for $25, students, hobbyists, and nerds are snapping the Raspberry Pi up by the millions.
People are doing some amazing stuff with it: computer game clones, entertainment systems, teaching kids how to code, and feeding their pets over the internet. It has been embraced as a computer, but it has even more potential as a robot.
The BrickPi makes building a robot with your Raspberry Pi simple. The BrickPi combines the hackable computing power of the Raspberry Pi with easy-to-build, modular LEGOs.
