Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The LEGO MindStorms Robotics Invention System is easy enough for kids, but powerful enough for high school and university-level students to makeimpressive use of it. Now you can create programmable robots that navigateobstacles, follow trails, or react to

Editorial Review:
Many high-tech toys start with a fun and fascinating idea only to make it frustratingly complicated in the execution. Leave it to LEGO to make a technologically advanced toy fun to play with. The enormous 718-piece LEGO Mindstorms Robotic Invention System lets you construct a variety of moving robot vehicles and then program them from your Windows 98- or Windows Me-compatible computer. The robots are all based around a bright yellow basic unit, which serves as the functional heart of whatever is being built. The brick receives commands from the computer via an infrared tower unit. The computer interface is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. What's most impressive about the system, however, is the variety of robots that can be built. There are detailed instructions for each one, and since these are LEGOs, builders are free to come up with an endless variety. --John Moe

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The toy of the future
Believe it or not, I love these products so much I wrote my Senior Thesis around it. If you want to read it,you can find it by searching on Google: "Robots: America's Answer to Dwindling Math Scores". I'm not trying to self promote (yes I am shameless though), but this toy I believe can help in changing this nation at it's core if promoted properly. Any educator or parent I believe will be moved by this article and I hope will assist in molding our nation's youth. A description of my thesis is ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for experimenting, learning, teaching...
I last personnaly used legos 25 years ago. LEGO Mindstorms made me do a come back. It has a great educationnal value when used with kids. It has enormous value if you like to experiment with robots. It takes few hours of my time regularly.
I even proposed it to our kids' school as one of the extra curiculum actvities. For two years in a row I taught robotics to kids of the age 8 to 11. You just had to see their eyes when the robots did what they were programed to do.

GREAT LEGO SET



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good stuff
This kit is great if you want to make a robotics project, as well as supplementing an existing project. Not just a toy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Speaks for itself
MindStorms and the internet communities that have evolved around it will be instrumental in changing the Robotics landscape for ever



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Don't buy this great set (if you can wait...)
I own this set and several follow-on sets. It is a lot of fun to build with and program. However, Lego is bringing out Mindstorms NXT in August 2006. Price should be about US$250 for a much more powerful set. I would no longer pay $200 for a set that is about to be replaced.
