Unleash the excitement and talent of your child's imagination with the Newest NXT Robot

Simple enough for a ten year old child to build a robot in 30 minutes, the Lego Mindstorm NXT 8527 remains challenging enough to be an educational toy your child will never outgrow. In fact, it may be a challenge to pull it away from the adults in the family.

Unleash your child's creativity with the Lego Mindstorms NXT 8527, an electronic educational toy for kids that takes robotics to the next level. Great for kids 10 years of age and above, this is a robot your child won't outgrow. There is an entire community of NXT fans, sharing and participating in contests.

The NXT combines computer programming and creativity in one great educational toy. The Mindstorms NXT Lego robot is a great tool for learning physics, robotics, computer science and engineering!

Kids from the age of 10 and up (and adults of all ages) will have fun learning how to build, develop, and create an advanced robot in around 30 minutes. Think of the pride and sense of accomplishment your child will experience after building his very own first real robot.

The award winning Lego MindStorm NXT package comes with step by step instructions and easy-to-use drag and drop programming software. The robot's brain, the new NXT Intelligent Brick, has plenty of power with it's 32-bit microprocessor and also provides support for USB 2.0 and Bluetooth. Mindstorm NXT is by far the most sophisticated yet user friendly robot kit available on the market today.

Lego Mindstorms NXT offers a choice of four basic robots: Alpha Rex, Spike, RoboArm, and Tribot.

• The humanoid robot, Alpha Rex, has the impressive ability to walk with each leg moving forwards or backwords separately, just like a human.
• Spike has 6 legs and tail that gives him the look of a scorpion. His tail has a touch sensor at the tip and can use his pincers to grab and carry objects.
• RoboArm is a stationary robot and has grabbing claws.
• Tribot rolls around on wheels and has grabbing claws.

Kids and grown-ups alike will never grow tired of the challenges of building any one of these robots. Among the many fascinating features built into the robots is the programming to differentiate color, distance, and even motion. They walk, they talk, they listen, and can even "see" with Ultrasound sensors. The robots even play music!

The Mindstorm NXT from Lego is the perfect toy, yet at the same time it's also a powerful learning tool.

The fun continues with the Lego MindStorm XT-G Programming Language that teaches your child or adult how to build even larger programs with My Blocks. Your family will have a blast learning how to build very cool robots that act like real animals.

Here's a list of the NXT robots that can be built and programmed if and when you decide to expand:

• Ribbit, a jumping frog
• Bunny, a hopping rabbit
• Sandy, a walking camel
• Spiderbot, an eight-legged spider that avoids objects and walks forward and backward
• Snout, a walking alligator that opens and closes its jaws
• LEGOsaurus, a four-legged, plodding dinosaur
• Pygmy, a walking elephant that raises and lowers its head
• Polecat, a skunk on wheels that lifts its tail and shoots "darts"
• Strutter, a peacock on wheels that turns and flutters its tail feathers

The NXT Programs will keep your family challenged for years to come. Spark an interest in science and robotics that your child can build upon throughout their education.

 Robotics - Electronic - Educational - Creative - Fun
