User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Lego Mindstorms NXT, un excelente paquete de rob?tica
Hi there, I wrote this review for people who speaks spanish.
El paquete de rob?tica Lego Mindstorms NXT es un excelente producto para iniciarse en el mundo de la rob?tica. As?como su predecesor, el Lego Mindstorms Robotics Invention System, la compa??a lego lo construy?de muy buena calidad a un excelente precio. La facilidad de poderlo programar en varios lenguajes de programaci?n, entre ellos C y Java lo hacen muy atractivo para uso educativo tanto en programaci?n como en rob?tica. En general, es un paquete muy usado en todo el mundo, para fines educativos, incluso de investigaci?n a nivel universitario y posgrado.

5 Stars Lego Mindstorms NXT is fun training for future scientists
Fortunately we have a friend who lives in the USA and came to Brazil and so, could bring it to us here where the retail prices are prohibitive, around R$ 1,999 Brazilian Reais that make today over US$ 1,000 … It is a high tech toy which is available is some very few good schools where there are few robots to be used by large groups of students. As my son aged 12 showed interest we got him one Lego Mindstorms NXT for his personal use, and some of his friends come to play with him. It is fun for him and friends, it is a toy that helps him and friends to develop technical skills, habilities, competencies. Hope that they be able to develop lower cost robots like that here in Brazil, to proportionate this opportunity to more children, and so, get a better standard of living for all. It is a marvelous, intelligent toy. Strongly recommend it to all.
5 Stars NXT – Taking it to the NeXT Level
The Lego NXT is more than just a toy. The NXT is an excellent tool to learn about computer programming languages such as C, Java, and even Lisp. The experiential hands-on education of robotics (designing, building, and programming robots) also provides an excellent tool for learning general Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) topics, pre-CS1 for computer science majors and students considering a CS major, teaching computer science, teaching artificial intelligence (AI) concepts, and K-12 outreach and enrichment. In this regard, the value of robotics lies in its concrete character, and its service as a bridge between operational and abstract levels of thinking.
5 Stars Great way to get kids (and adults) into object based programming and automation
As a mechanical engineer who uses labview daily, I was excited to upgrade to the nxt. I have some projects in mind and this is a great value for intial concept work. I also want to use this for hobbyist projects as well and am encouraged by the aftermarket support.
5 Stars EXCELLENT LEGO TOY
We bought this for our 12 year old son who loves inventing stuff with Lego. Mindstorms NXT is an excellent product and I would highly recommend it…It is not a toy for kids under 12 though as it is very technical…
