This gift is for the kid who’s already mastered all of the basics of Lego. There’s a good chance that she or he is also interested in computers and robots, in which case, Lego Mindstorms robot kit is without a doubt, a perfect gift. This is a real robot kit (Lego’s most advanced ever) featuring the new NXT Intelligent Brick — the robot’s brain. Once programmed by its new owner (where the fun begins!), the brick and the robot can do a lot of things many of us will never understand, but can appreciate, nonetheless. The kit comes with a quick-start guide, easy-to-use software (which works on both PC’s and the Mac) and step-by-step building instructions. In the past year, Lego Mindstorms NXT has already been purchased, tested, and wholeheartedly approved by PLENTY of “big boys,” including many dads, who’ve dreamed of building and programming a robot since the days of Lost in Space and The Jetsons. If you know a kid who you suspect has similar dreams, here’s a way to take him “by storm,” and fulfill those dreams with this incredible gift.
