it amazes me how fast technology is growing these days. I remember when endeavors like this were in a dream, or actually cartoon like the jetsons. Now a days its almost reality. Simply amazing.

Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0. is a great educational toy, they can build several different robots and program them. I would recommend buying a container for all of the pieces, I actually got a couple little tackle boxes for them. My son built the robo gator and displayed it at his school lego show.

This certainly sounds like a whole lot of fun to use. I can’t help but agree with thomson on the fact that this would be just as fun for adults as it would for kids. Could be great in the workplace. Everyone having their own robot and battling them in some way!

The programming side of it just sounds head and shoulders above what i had to play with when i was a kid.

Great post, i’ll have to read up a bit more about these before i get one.

Science is a rudimentary way of explaining our environment; externally and internally. Developing science skills purpose is to develop observatory and deductive reasoning skills.

The kit spoke of wonderful sounds. I wish I had access while I was a young. Neuroscientically robotics/electronics could develop the brain’s spatial awareness, mechanical understanding and sensory motor skills.

I would like to be bold enough to say that kids as young as elementary school need to be taught with this Lego’s kit. Our schools are filled with theory and math. Anyone can observe children and say that they are not ready for theory until their mind has been developed.

To develop the brain during the early stages of childhood necessitates projects that require constructing, deconstructing, art in any form and music. I will certainly invest in legos for my kids as my parents did for me. Besides, legos are great.

Hi,
Never mind the kids this would be interesting for us adults! And, yes, this would be good for the kids to get them away from the tv and video games.

The likes of Lego exercises childrens minds in a different way to just playing on the computer. Plus it can be fun for all the family. A family that plays together ….. etc

Wow, you get a lot for $270. This package includes 3 servos and 4 sensors. The software is drag and drop so even a 10 year old can operate the software. Every kid should be required to build a robot such as this kit.
