About

Hey,

my name is Leon Overweel, I’m fifteen years old, and I live in New York (state, not the city). Besides robotics, I enjoy photography, BMX-ing (read: falling trying to do a wheelie), and designing websites and posters. When I get a chance, I also like to read.

Online, I use the pseudonym dimastero (don’t ask me how I thought of it; all I know is that I’ve been using it for ages) on the websites below:

On YouTube, my name is worldofmindstorms. I made this blog to publish the MindStorms NXT stuff I’ve done, am working on and am going to do. If I find something in the Mindstorms world very interesting (new sensors, for example), I’ll post about them here too. These are my top three “best” projects so far:

Here’s the MindStorms stuff I’ve got experience with, which you’ll probably find stuff about on this blog:

Thanks for reading and enjoy my website/ blog thing! As you might have noticed, I do not post a lot on here anymore, because I’d like the site to only have finished builds and projects. Among other things, I post short updates and teasers about things I’m working on, on my Google Plus: https://plus.google.com/106671218963420759042/posts

Hey Leon,

Zag jouw foto en jouw geweldige printer vandaag in ´De Dordtenaar´ staan!
Wat een verrassing om te zien waar jij nu, vanuit New York mee bezig bent. Wilde je alleen laten weten dat ik het echt fantastisch vind en dat ik enorm trots op je ben….(en op het feit dat ik kan zeggen dat je ooit bij mij in de klas zat!).
Groetjes, ook aan de rest van de familie en succes met alle prachtige projecten waar je nu ongetwijfeld aan werkt!

´juf´ Sylvia Katif
