About the Author
Mario Ferrari received his first Lego box around 1964, when he was 4. Lego was his favorite toy for many years, until he thought he was too old to play with it. In 1998 the Lego Mindstorms RIS set gave him reason to again have Lego become his main addiction. Mario believes Lego is the closest thing to the perfect toy. 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. He is fluentin many programming languages and his background includes positions as an ITmanager and as a project supervisor. Mario estimates he owns over 60,000 Lego pieces. Mario works in Modena, Italy.
Giulio Ferrari is a student in Economics at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, where he also studied Engineering. He is fond of computers and has developed utilities, entertainment software, and web applications for several companies. Giulio discovered robotics in 1998, with the arrival of MINDSTORMS, and held an important place in the creation of the Italian LEGO community. He shares a love forLEGO bricks with his oldest brother, Mario, and a strong curiosity for the physical and mathematical sciences. He studies, works, and lives in Modena, Italy.
