The LEGO Mindstorms NXT is the perfect toy for all you techies out there, young or old. But not too young though, as enjoying the toy requires that you have knowledge of how to use a computer, so you can program your robot properly. The small LEGO pieces may also serve as a choking hazard for young children.
Otherwise, this is one of the most innovative toys ever created. The toy comes with 577 LEGO pieces that you can assemble in any way you want, or you can follow one of the 8 standard models by following the instructions for each. Numerous sensors from touch sensors, to sound sensors, and light sensors, allow your robot to react differently to various stimuli.

The best thing about this toy is that you can program it to move and act in many ways you want. For example you can make your robot emit a sound. You can control what sound it makes, how long it will last, and how loud it will be. This is all possible using the NXT device which looks like an mp3 player. It has its own LCD and navigation buttons for easy operation.
If all this sounds complicated, don't worry. A short tutorial is included that will have you operating your robot in less than 1 hour. This will surely provide you hour upon hour of fun and excitement. LEGO has come a long way from just making building block toys, so if you are interested in engineering or in robots then LEGO Mindstorms NXT is the perfect toy for you.
