Yeah, I guess Marvin Minsky wasn't aware of Technic and Mindstorms

Which would be somewhat amazing, given Mindstorm's pedigree.

That would be amazing considering his relation to Seymour Papert [1], who:

- Co-invented Logo Programming language

- Authored "Mindstorms" [1]

- Collaborated with Lego to produce (Logo-programmable) Lego Mindstorms.

- Was made co-director of the MIT AI Lab by...... Marvin Minsky
