Brian is a member of the MPD (MINDSTORMS Developer Program), MCP (MINDSTORMS Community Partners), and is a a NXTLOG contributor.

From:
Elkhart, Indiana, USA

What I do besides building with MINDSTORMS:
Stay-at-home parent and physics professor teaching physics, astronomy, & biophysics.

Experience with MINDSTORMS:
5 years ago I taught a FLL type group (of 4 to 12 year olds) at my son’s school. I also started entering contests, and launched up the MINDSTORMS learning curve when I discovered LUGNET. Since then I have entered competitive contests like line following, maze running, and sumo (as well as others), and I’ve helped initate cooperative efforts like the Great Ball Contraption. I focus on solving detailed problems with robust solutions, (like improving IR ranging with the RCX), usually within the confines of the LEGO standard firmware. I’ve either coordinated or helped coordinate a number of LEGO events, and look forward to doing it in the future.
