Lego, the toy company known for its distinct blocks, has announced plans to discontinue its buildable educational robot kits, according to media reports.
The Mindstorms kits which allow users to build robots out of Lego bricks, pins, beams, motors, gears, and other parts and then programme them using the control hubs, has been stopped, reports The Verge.
Since 1998, the products have been promoted as a simple solution for kids and adults to create and programme robots.
The company will not continue to offer its Mindstorms Robot Inventor kit after this year, but it is not entirely done with the concept of educational robotics kits.
