I saw a GameXplain yesterday revealing more about this, and honestly I now think it's brilliant. This is such a simple introduction for kids into the basest levels of programming.

I'd personally already been thinking about making my own contraptions (perhaps replacing cardboard with cooler materials), but this added ability to interact with the hardware and see what results you can come up with is just such a cool idea for kids to dabble in...

I'd seen and played "if->then" games that introduce you to the concepts of programming, but as kids absolutely love to engage all of their senses when investigating and learning (there's a reason kids are always putting everything in their mouths lol) this physical, observable manifestation of that inputted logic may really keep their attention.
