Legos are the building blocks of makers. I imagine most of us have fond memories of Lego growing up. Enhance those memories or give new ones with Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 available in the Maker Shed! This awesome Lego set combines the versatility of the LEGO building system with an intelligent microcomputer brick and intuitive drag-and-drop programming software based on LabVIEW. The 2.0 toolkit features everything you need to create your first robot in 30 minutes and then thousands of other robotics inventions that do what you want! The intelligent NXT LEGO brick features 32-bit microprocessor, a large matrix display, 4 input and 3 output ports. It connects to your computer using Bluetooth or USB.
- NXT 32-bit microcontroller with 256k memory
- 3 interactive servo motors with built-in rotation sensors
- 1 ultrasonic sensor
- 2 touch sensors
- Color sensor with triple functionality: color sensor/light sensor/color lamp
- Support for Bluetooth, USB 2.0
- 619 pieces



Toss the development software that comes with it. Acquire RobotC instead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotc
Am I the only one who cannot see any links on the MakerShed.com website? I get a 404 for the linked “Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0″ above, even http://www.makershed.com itself gives me a 404. Trying just http://makershed.com redirects to a missing http://www.makershed.com/Default.asp page. I give up . . .
Works for me
This would be cool
wow
Dear Mr American.. hate to be a nerd but, but Lego IS the plural, saying “LEGOS” is like saying “Fishes” or “Sheeps”…. apart from that Nice article and seasons greetings
