I've already got two other versions, so I think buying this would be a bit of a waste. Nevertheless, it looks awesome.

Sell them and upgrade I guess. It might be worth it.

holy loving stuff that looks sick as forget

oh man I might need to buy one, but just maybe the NXT modules and software based on the price of the entire kit...I already have the NXT 2.0 so I can just use those parts along with it.

What's with the mohawk?

Racerboy · January 07, 2013, 06:18:49 PM

Oh man, I'm so buying this.

SD Card Slot and USB Port...what is this sorcery

All the Sensors and Motors:

What's that sensor on the bottom right? Some kind of pressure pad?

How do the sensors mount to technic holes? On the bottom?

Time to get excited for the probably godawful RobotC interfaces to the SD slot *yay*!

Camera · January 07, 2013, 06:57:31 PM

That's probably the sound sensor

They did product testing at my school for mindstorm stuff a month or 2 ago. My friend participated and said all he could say was that they're EXTREMELY cool.

Looks like a shameless ripoff of ROB.

Back in my day, me made things brick by brick.

I'm not so sure about that, because the sound sensor wasn't included in the NXT 2.0...unless they decided to bring it back. I'm trying to decipher what that sign on it is with the 2 arrows.

I never really liked these things, looks cool though

Pixel · January 07, 2013, 10:19:18 PM

I have the Mindstoms NXT, not sure which one because Im pretty sure there are multiple. I still have the robo dog I built using a guide from the internet.

I hope the battery life is better, and if I ever wind up buying this Im going to need to learn to splice ethernet cords, it sucked having cords that were too long.
