I have RIS 2.0 already, and I don't want to spend $[...] on the full kit. So this is the best option for me. I have also purchased additional sensors (lego and from 3rd party) and converter cables.

Kudo's from a Lego Robotics Coach!

The Lego Mindstorms system has always been a favorite. The FLL Robotics program teaches students age 9-14 how to tackle real-world engineering problems and present their results to others. NXT is easy to build and program and can be used to build some 'highly-capable' robots. Let your creativity flow!

Black NXT or White NXT ...

... it all spells fun! I am one of those boys that never grew up and left toys behind. As a child, LEGOs were never in the picture; but, all of that changed 10 years ago when I stumbled into the world of LEGO Mindstorms RDS. Since then it has been a steady progression from Mindstorms RCX 1.0 thru 2.0, then a backwards regression to the previous Cybermaster set, forward again with the LEGO Dark Side and Droid kits, Spybotics, and now the Mindstorms NXT 1.0, 2.0 sets, and special 10th Anniversary NXT. The best part is putting the RCX and NXT technologies together into single robotics and mechanical devices using delivered sensors and actuators, second source devices, as well as devices that I have built myself.

I cannot think of a single toy that has a bigger bang for the buck than Lego Mindstorms from electrical and mechanical engineering standpoint, learning tool, and a great diversion away from stupid video games. Best of all, it is some thing that all boys from 6 to 100 will enjoy. (Sorry kids, I view video games as fodder for the brain dead!)

If you have $169 dollars that you need to waste buy this black mindstorms nxt. You could save half of that ammount and buy a white one on bricklink. I realy screwed up and have 5 others but just ad to have a 6th black one.

It is what it is

Reviewer: M. Crockett,

It's a developer "toy", and a damn good one at that. Worth every penny. It should go without saying, but don't buy it if you're looking for a gift for a kid who isn't into programming :/
