LEGO Mindstorms NXT
The LEGO Mindstorms NXT
What's different between this and other robot kits? Well, it's LEGO - and that means you can build the model in the instructions then take it apart and build something else totally different, either from the official instructions book or out of your own head. You're not limited to only the LEGO parts included in the box, either - you can make use of your existing LEGO Technic pieces to add to the Mindstorms NXT.
Toy robots are amazingly attractive to kids, and the more advanced of them have a lot of appeal for adults too. Building your own toy robot is much better than just buying a ready-made one; making it do what you tell it to (programming it) is best of all - and with the LEGO Mindstorms NXT that's just what you can do, again and again, limited only by your imagination. As a Christmas gift, this will keep on giving for long after the latest trendy toy craze has disappeared.
