He is Managing Director at EDIS, a leader in finishing and packaging solutions and promotional packaging. The advent of the MINDSTORMS product line represented for him the perfect opportunity to combine his interest in IT and robotics withhis passion for LEGO bricks, which started during his early childhood. Mariohas been a very active member of the online MINDSTORMS community from the beginning, and has pushed LEGO robotics to its limits. Mario holds a bachelor'sdegree in business administration from the University of Turin.

Customer Reviews

Content good, but misleading
I bought this for my son who has just received a Mindstorms RIS 2.0 set for his birthday. The title implies that the models listed in the book are built with bricks included in the RIS 2.0 set, and there is nothing else to say otherwise, but all the models my son tried required one or two parts from other Lego sets at some point.

Very disappointed son, and book being returned.
