The Mindstorms line of products from Lego robotics is a great gift for anyone looking to create autonomous robotics with easy assembly. It is an excellent way for children to become familiar with technology and how it operates when they assemble their own projects. It also works great for students in technical and engineering universities because of the complexity potential of both the hardware construction and programming algorithms for MoonBots from LEGO.
ROBOTC is a bit more advanced language that is used for a variety of application programming rather than just for Lego robotics. It is similar to NXT-G in that it allows users to drag and drop blocks of code in their development environment to create a top down style application. The main difference in LEGO MoonBots is that the blocks of code are C oriented meaning that the blocks really form a C program.
Lego pieces usually included in the Technics kits are provided to create the mechanical systems which are then incorporated with the newly provided NXT electrical systems and user defined code. This forms the basic foundation for a fully functional and automaton design. The mechanical and electrical systems are controlled by the program uploaded to the NXT Intelligent Brick.
Those who are more into the science or engineering side of things regarding robotics by Lego also prefer programming the NXT controller brick 2.0 by utilizing the MATLAB and SimuLink software. This allows for a more mathematically oriented style of programming in order for the robots to complete highly intricate tasks. SimuLink is also a block based programming language used in educational toys control systems design.
Because of the price point and its popularity with kids, Lego robotics has become the choice for a Christmas present for numerous science loving kids. This special gift will entertain and educate your little builder and spark a new passion within them. Rather than providing them with a toy they will outgrow, you are making an investment into their future by offering an opportunity to acquire engineering skills early on.
Engineering students around the world have built some incredible machines with this platform and are fully autonomous. This means that there is only the NXT Intelligent Lego Brick controlling their robots. The Lego robotics development kit has thus been incorporated in schools all over the world to utilize what is in the box.
