I literally can’t understand why people like this robotic mechanics so much.I actually don’t like it personally. I think that human is creating itself the weapon against the human society. I might be wrong but this is my thinking and for sure i will not buy any robotic mechanism software at least in my home.

Thanks for posting. My boyfriend loves Lego, despite being in his thirties. He’s like a big kid and loves tecnology so he’d love the Mindstorm set. I don’t think lego ever really stopped being cool though. It relies on men still being boys and that’s why it works.

If a piece does not clearly show in the pictures they have circled it for easy reference so you have a large circle on the part that you may not have seen. This means they went to great lengths to make sure you could see and follow the step by step building pictures to create each robotic invention.

I think combining the versatility of the LEGO building system with a microcomputer brick and intuitive programming software, this building kit enables you to construct robots that see, speak, feel, and move. Designed for ages 10 and up, the 2.0 robotics tool set features everything you need to create and program your first robot in approximately one hour. After that, you can create an endless lineup of robots that do what you want–if you can dream it, you can build it. This is an AWESOME toy for this Holiday season.

After tearing open all the bags and sorting through the bricks, we installed the software. Included in the application are instructions for building a few different robots. We chose a sentry shooterbot that detects intruders within its perimeter and attacks them.

A University of Malaga group in Spain, led by Professor Elizabeth Barbancho, devised a Lego Mindstorms NXT that can play Name That Tune when you play chords on the guitar, tickle piano keys, whistle or hum. The clever bot will then suggest other songs that are similar. A team also came up with a system that uses augmented reality technology to make a virtual keyboard, useful for those without a real one. Other researchers from the group came up with a method of turning ordinary songs into a format that is similar to the one used in “Guitar Hero.”

The Mindstorms NXT system (mindstorms.lego.com, $250) brings Mindstorms into the 21st century, with a 32-bit ARM7 microcontroller, 256KB of Flash memory, 64KB of RAM, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, both Mac and Windows interfacing, and lots of cool motors and sensors (three servos, ultrasonic sensor, sound sensor, light sensor, touch sensor). And the mechanical components have been rethought to make them less prone to falling apart during active bot-on-bot action.

This is probably one of the best investments in Lego we’ve made. My son has ADHD, and the one thing that can keep his attention for hours is building with Legos. For a child who has trouble sitting still for more than a minute, actually sitting and building something, accomplishing something so fantastic as a ROBOT – it’s such a huge help for him. It keeps his mind active, which is helping him learn to concentrate.

Its amazing how toy robots are enduringly attractive to kids. Building your own toy robot is even better, making it do what you tell it to is best of all – and with the LEGO Mindstorms NXT that’s exactly what kids can do, over and over again, in ways limited only by their imagination. As a Christmas gift, this is a toy that will keep on giving for years after the latest fad craze toy has bitten the dust.

Now that’s really cool. Too bad I didn’t come across this few weeks back. Sigh. Next year I guess. Thanks. Cheers
