What new educational platform makes designing robots easy?

The Magzor Design Platform (MDP) provides students with a simple drag-and-drop interface for designing robots and other devices. The purpose of the software is to let engineers focus on their concept without getting mired in the details. Users select the parts they want to use and the MDP shows how they can fit together. As chips like the Raspberry Pi (a $5 version is now available) and tools like these become available, the entry barrier to the field of robotics becomes accessible to a wider audience — and progressively younger students.
