Mindstorms NXT combines the power of the LEGO building system, an intelligent brick and easy-to-use drag-and-drop programming software to create advanced robots. Create and build the smartest, most advanced LEGO robot yet, in as few as 30 minutes. The new NXT Intelligent Brick, your robot's "brain," features a powerful 32-bit microprocessor and more memory, plus support for USB 2.0, Bluetooth and more.

This intuitive robot features a highly versatile palette of LEGO TECHNIC elements, state-of-the-art ultrasonic, sound, light and touch sensors. It includes a Quick-Start guide, easy-to-use software and detailed building instructions, so beginners and experts alike can create humanoid, vehicle and animal robots that obey your every command.

Improved light sensors can detect different colors and intensities, while new sound sensors enable robots to respond to sound patterns and tones. Ultrasonic "eyes" measure distance and movement, while improved touch sensors allow the robots to really "feel."

Programming software is available for both PC and Macintosh, plus with Bluetooth support, you can even command your robot from your mobile phone.

"After spending hours, upon hours building with the first Lego's Mindstorms set, I expected good things from the NXT set. My good expectations were met, and even exceeded. Mindstorm's are simple enough for youngsters, but the limits are endless, so all ages can and will enjoy programming them. "
