Ars Technica Review of Lego Mindstorms NXT
Listening to: What Time Is Love (LP Mix) - The KLF
Ars Technica have put together a great review of the Lego NXT product… it does look very very cool:
The good:
- Almost 600 pieces
- Sensors that actually work
- Programming system easy enough to let Grandma build a ‘bot
- The X factor: fun to use
The bad:
- You can link four robots, but it will cost you $1,000
- Three motors don’t go far when your robots can drive
- Little available memory in the NXT brick
- Does not include a death ray
The ugly:
- The meals I would have missed as a child while playing with this
