WHAT IS NXT ROBOTICS ?

Lego Mindstorms NXT is a programmable robotics  kit

released by LEGO in late July 2006. It replaced the first-

generation Lego Mindstorms kit, which was called the

Robotics Invention System. The base kit ships in two

versions: the Retail Version (set #8527)  and the Education

Base Set (set #9797). It comes with the NXT-G programming

software, but a variety of unofficial languages exist, such as

NXC, NBC, leJOS NXJ, and RobotC. A new version of the set,

the new LEGO Mindstorm NXT 2.o, was released on August 1,

2009, featuring a color sensor and other upgraded

capabilities.
