The Next level of Lego Mindstorms is back and better than ever, with new robot models, even more customizable programming, and all-new technology including a color sensor! Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 combines the unlimited versatility of the LEGO system with an intelligent microcomputer brick and intuitive drag and drop programming software. this building kit enables kids to construct robots that see, speak, feel, and move.
Creating a Lego Mindstorms NXT robot is challenging, but not too difficult with an illustrated step by step booklet showing the way. The booklet gives childen instructions for building a basic Quick Start robot only, which is an easy introduction to the MINDSTORMS experience. It is really easy to use and the possibilities are endless! No doubt this is probably one of the best toys/investment any parent can give to a child . It allows kids to explore their imagination and make something unique.
Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 features the latest in robotic technology, all the smart technologies to create your kid custom robot mindstorms. First, the brain of the MINDSTORMS robot is NXT, an advanced programmable microcontroller, a large matrix display, input and output ports, and a speaker. econd, three Interactive Servo Motors, the built-in rotation sensor can measure one-degree steps. Third, there are four robotic sensors. The first is the Ultrasonic Sensor, the sensors that gives the robot vision. Kids can use it to make the robot avoid obstacles, sense and measure distance, and detect movement. And fourth of all, two Touch Sensors give the robot a sense of touch. They detect when they are being pressed or released, and kids can use them to make the robot pick up things or act on command. For example, by pressing a Touch Sensor kids can make the robot walk, talk, close a door, or turn off your TV.
Once the kids master the basics of MINDSTORMS, they’ll need to use the included software to get instructions for more advanced creations. Kids can create an endless lineup of robots that do what They want. No matter what they choose to create, the principles are the same: just build the robot using the Lego Mindstorm elements in the kit, and program it on their computer using the software. Then watch the robot come alive.
