Last weekend I picked up the new Lego Mindstorms NXT kit… If you haven’t figured out yet… I’m quite the kid. Have to play with Legos and video games!



At any rate, busted it open… saw all of the wonderful new features:




  • Bluetooth Communication

  • Supports Mac OSX

  • New Sensor Types

  • Open Source (Soon to be) OS (32 Bit AMR7 processor)

  • Supports Microsoft Robotics Studio… SWEET .Net Code!

  • ruby-nxt is in the works…



Here are some pics I took of the Alpha Rex:

And in case you were wondering… I *am* the proud owner of RIS 2.0 (Old Mindstorms):
