Excellent educational robot for any age August 18, 2008

This is an excellent educational robot. You can make many autonomous or remote robotic devices. Spares and more parts and sensors are easily available and include third party support, or make your own. There are many programming environments for the nxt, all easily available. Much web support too. Great for experienced and new programmers. All in all superb value.

An excellent product for those looking for an introduction to robots and who want that extra level of complexity. Thoroughly good fun for old and young and great value for money. The possibilities are boundless.
I would not recommend it for the very young but 11+ definately

this was bought for my 6 year old who is mad about lego , we have only had time to build as yet and cant wait to programme it , i do reccommend it , it is very educational and as my son complained that lego building was too easy ,this has really challenged him .
Educational and fun, limited only by your own imagination January 1, 2008

Mindstorms began with RCX pairing the creativity and simplicity of Lego with with programmable interactive robotics - NXT takes this great idea forward to near perfection.
Fun and educational for (older) children and adults alike. It comes with a decent amount of Lego to get you started including three servo motors and four sensors with a pretty robust and easy visual programming environment.
It has good support in the wider community such as additional sensors (e.g. compass, colour, gyro etc) and programming languages (C, Java amongst others). Also as it is standard Lego, any spare Technic sets can be put to good use supplementing the NXT kit.
The only thing I would have liked is an included storage box to keep all the tiny Lego bits etc, it comes in a single big cardboard box without any dividers.
Overall very much recommended.
Product description does not do it justice! December 26, 2007

We're delighted with the NXT kit; the product description on Amazon doesn't really do justice to how much potential it has. For example, there is functionality such as being able to communicate with other NXT robots, store data files in flash memory, etc.
