no!
How do you a power function on a Lego vehicle(s)? Thank you, Manny I. T. Smith
Yes the sensors from the MINDSTORMS NXT V1 will work with V2. There has been no changes to the NXT brick itself so all the sensors that worked with the old set work with the new. The software has been upgraded with new functions and there is a new color sensor in the kit. The content of the kit itself has changed but the NXT brick remains the same.
Most robots are software controlled and hence just about any robot involves programming. If you are a beginner here are some options: 1) Lego Mindstorms with just lego parts. It comes with a brain named NXT. 2) You can also use NXT with a Tertrix kit
With the NXT kit there are instructions included. But if you want more than 2 legs then look here http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/11/lego_nxt_walker_turns_fro.html for inspiration.
I think one of th easiest robot to build is the Lego Mindstorm kit. It comes with a brain (NXT) and when you combine the base kit with many available sensors, you can build good robots.
Yes the Lego store does in fact sale a Lego Castle kit. You will have to visit their store or go online to their website.
Depending on your budget and the interest level of the participants, I would recommend the Lego Mindstorms NXT kits, or VEX Robotics kit. Lego provides a user friendly drag and drop programming interface that's simple enough for most 10-15 year olds to figure out, and the familiarity that middle schoolers have with Legos, while VEX allows more robust platforms to be developed, and provides more capable means of building and experimenting with designs. For a middle school though, I would definitely recommend the Lego Mindstorms NXT system, hands down.
A Lego car kit can be bought at almost any Lego dealer or toy store. Good places to check are Toys-R-Us and Walmart to see if they have the Lego car kit you are looking for.
You can find them with a Lego kit sometimes
i think it is is exculsive to schools i spent 1 hour trying to find one try the nxt 2.0
