LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 (8547) Comments:
5.0 out of 5 stars NXT 2.0: A Solid Improvement on the Best MINDSTORMS Set Ever,
July 19, 2009 Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
5.0 out of 5 stars A great set for the creative youngster (and for the inventive adult!),
August 1, 2009 This review is from: LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 (8547) (Toy) SUMMARY:
I think that the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 is a great set for the creative youngster (and for the inventive adult!) This robotics kit can offer hours and hours of fun. While playing with it, you’ll (your kid) be able to interact with people all over the world, and you’ll have a great start in engineering.
At the moment of writing this review, 4 customer reviews have been posted: two 1star reviews and two 5 star reviews. This gives an average of 3 stars, which is way below what the kit deserves. It deserves 5 stars.
Another customer (D. Perdue) has already posted a great review (5 stars) about the new features in the set, and in this review I’d like to add some more to this. Furthermore, I’d like to respond to the two negative reviews posted so far.
I have been into MINDSTORMS for about 4 years now, and my first robot set was a RIS 2.0 set (the older MINDSTORMS system). I purchased my first NXT set in 2007 and I still have not stopped playing with it. This is what I like about MINDSTORMS: the possibilities are endless. You can not only build and program robots, but you can also design, invent and even interact with the MINDSTORMS community.
By corresponding with others in this community, you’ll get to learn new building and programming techniques, and you can share your knowledge and robot inventions with other LEGO minded people. As a result, you can get in touch with people all over the world. This has been so for all the MINDSTORMS system, and now that the NXT 2.0 is introduced, I expect the community to grow even larger.
When you first open the NXT 2.0 box, you’ll find a special bag with building elements called “start here!”. With these parts you can start of building your first robot with step by step building instructions.
I have to admit, the next step is a little harder: programming. The draganddrop programming software is really easy to use, but the documentation isn’t always very clear: there is not a stepbystep guide in the kit which teaches you all the ins and outs about programming (but there is a good reference manual in the software). Fortunately, there are enough sample programs to get you started. Everyone with a little creativity can do the trick.
As you finished playing with the basics of robot programming, you can start building some of the other robot models that appear on the NXT box: an alligator, a ball color sorter and a humanoid: Alpha Rex. I recommend to start with the training vehicle (Shooterbot) first, though. But, having built these four models doesn’t end the fun yet!
There are a lot of websites dedicated to MINDSTORMS (NXT 2.0). Some of them offer building instructions so you can build even more robots. Apart from these websites, there are also plenty of MINDSTORMS books, which teach you how to make the best of your NXT set. Also, there are a few books, especially dedicated to NXT 2.0, coming out at the end of the year.
As you gain more MINDSTORMS experience you’ll be able to invent your own robotic creations. Then, you can take photos, or even create a 3d model of your robot on your computer, and share it on the MINDSTORMS NXTLOG website.
In the rest of this review, I’d like to respond to the two 1star reviews posted on Amazon as of now.
Re: “Buyer beware!” (Customer support issue and technical problems)
I’m sorry to hear about your problems with the NXT 2.0. I know that a lot of MINDSTORMS sets are being returned to LEGO, but sometimes that is because people do not know how to use it. If this is the case, the mistake can often be solved easily (An example problem is an incorrectly placed motor or sensor cable).
In general, I would recommend to post issues on MINDSTORMS forums by the community (just Google for “the NXT step” or “NXTasy”). The people there usually know more about it than the technical support service.
I have to add that the programs on the NXT Intelligent Brick actually did correctly work on my end. These programs are not faulty, and regular programming using the software also worked with no problems.
Of course, when there is really a problem with the hardware in the set, it is good to let LEGO know and to request replacement parts. This turns out to be the case for this reviewer. Hopefully, this problem doesn’t occur in too many sets. I’ve experienced the LEGO customer service to be quite helpful. In the past, I have had two broken electronic LEGO pieces, and I received new, working parts after a call with them.
UPDATE: I’ve just checked the NXT 2.0 User Guide, and found a small, but important error on page 15: The colored annonations that instruct the user to plug the cables are incorrect. With these cable configurations, the programs do not work indeed. You can follow the building steps in the software instead these are correct.
Re: “Better than ever?”
I agree that NXT 2.0 (as apposed to NXT 1.0) was not improved on the hardware side apart form a new Color. I think this is great. Why? All NXT 2.0 sets are still compatible with the NXT 1.0 sets, simply because they use the same intelligent brick. This way, existing users can upgrade without throwing their old system away. Furthermore, all the useful information made up by the community for NXT 1.0, is still just as valuable for NXT 2.0.
SUMMARY:
I think that the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 is a great set for the creative youngster (and for the inventive adult!) This robotics kit can offer hours and hours of fun. While playing with it, you’ll (your kid) be able to interact with people all over the world, and you’ll have a great start in engineering.
