 Rating: - An Exellent Adventure in Building and RobotsAn excellent product for those looking for an introduction to robots and who want that extra level of complexity. Thoroughly good fun for old and young and great value for money. The possibilities are boundless. I would not recommend it for the very young but 11+ definately Rating: - lego mindstormsthis was bought for my 6 year old who is mad about lego , we have only had time to build as yet and cant wait to programme it , i do reccommend it , it is very educational and as my son complained that lego building was too easy ,this has really challenged him .

I thought the Lego package would give good variation and the ability to easily make lots of different designs. We have not been disappointed. For example, in the last week he has made 3 different robots, programmed them, and modified them to do different tasks. The set itself was the usual Lego technic style bricks, which he was familiar with to easily build the starter models. The "intelligent brick" software loaded with no problems, and provided you do the early exercises to learn how to program it, is pretty straightforward. But try to curb your enthusiasm to leap ahead - in the ... Read More: |
