LG8547 LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 Robotic Invention System

The "NXT 2.0" generation of buildable, programmable robots is here!

TESTIMONAL I found that the NXT 2.0 has clever design elements; it added a new level of interaction to my daughter's LEGO experience. She found it easy to create her first robot. It encourages inventive play with the "cool" hardware that is used used to build any robot you dream up! As a teacher I found that it offers a great balance between learning and fun while it encourages interest in science, computers, and engineering. Elizabeth Bissell, Wilson, NC, US
