Description

The NXT generation of buildable, programmable robots is here! Lego Mindstorms NXT is back and better than ever, with new robot models, even more customizable programming and all-new technology including a colour sensor!

Mindstorms NXT 2.0 combines the unlimited versatility of the Lego building system with an intelligent microcomputer brick and intuitive drag- and-drop programming software. The new 2.0 toolkit features everything you need to create your first robot in 30 minutes and then tens of thousands of other robotic inventions that do what you want!

Key elements and features:

  • The NXT: NXT is the brain of a Mindstorms robot. It’s an intelligent, computer-controlled Lego brick that lets a Mindstorms robot come alive and perform different operations. The intelligent NXT Lego brick features 32-bit microprocessor, a large matrix display, 4 input and 3 output ports, and Bluetooth and USB communication link
  • Interactive Servo Motors: The 3 Servo Motors give your robot the ability to move. If you use the Move block in the Lego MindstormsNXT software to program your motors, the two motors will automatically synchronize, so that your robot will move in a straight line. Each motor has a built-in Rotation Sensor
  • Sensors: Four sensors are included: Ultrasonic Sensor, 2 Touch Sensors and the all-new Colour Sensor
  • Colour Sensor: Has triple functionality: distinguishes colours and light settings, and functions as a lamp
  • Easy-to-use software (PC and Mac): With icon-based drag-and-drop programming and 16 fun building and programming challenges. The software enables you to program your NXT robotic invention and upload your programs to the NXT via USB or Bluetooth connectivity. Includes building and programming instructions for 4 cool models that you can build and program to do what you want
  • Includes All the Lego elements (612 pieces) you need for creating incredible robots!
  • Personalize your robots with the Sound and Icon editors

    • Requires 6x AA batteries to operate (not included).

    We brought a mindstorms NXT 2.0 last year and competed in FLL (First Lego League) and had awesome fun. Our team loved using the set and are competing this year. I thoroughly recommend this product to you!!! For more information visit http://www.firstlegoleague.org/ or http://kiwifirst.org/

    We ordered Mindstorms NXT from IQToys on Sunday night and it was on the doorstep in Christchurch on Tuesday. This must be one of the most expensive toys that I have ever bought and IQToys was the very cheapest place to buy it. This toy is suitable for children from 8 to 80+ years of age. The paper manual was not great but the online tutorials are excellent for the older generation. Kids just get on with it. You can use this kit to construct robots for the National Robocup Junior competition: http://www.robocupjunior.org.nz/ Older kids can replace the Lego software with Lejos Java: http://lejos.sourceforge.net/ and restore the Lego software at will. The Lego software source code and schematics are also available so you may design your own extensions: http://mindstorms.lego.com/Overview/nxtreme.aspx This is a toy that will appeal to technically minded boys and girls which they will never grow too old for. TIP1 Have 6 x AA batteries ready so that you can start immediately. TIP2. Buy a spare light sensor so that you can compete in the Robocup Rescue competition.

    Very good toy always loved Lego and K’nex and that sort of stuff. Pretty cool how you can program it to do different things to for an example make it walk around and do things for you. It’s a bit like having a servant really.

    A truly awesome toy or should I say computer/robot/game. I already had the first NXT and brought this one for the new software functions (easy to use blue tooth more programing blocks and tools you would need to know how too use C). The colour sensor is a bonus as well giving more robot options. If you have a NXT 1.0 I would recommend this for the added parts and to use blue tooth. If you are new to NXT then I say jump In if they are lucky your kids may even get to play with it.
