Amazon.com | Sure, Mindstorms NXT is a toy, but it is an important toy, like a piano or a chemistry set. It's one of those items that engages an imagination and possibly opens doors to new interests. Since our future is surely to be shared with robots--it's already started happening, just look at Roomba--those robots will need, at least initially, humans to program and maintain them. Those people, years from now, will likely remember their experiences with Lego Mindstorms. Out of the Box The main part of the...more Erector Robot - 4.5V Drill / Motor - PC Feature: ...

I purchased this robot for my 8 year old son for Christmas. I was actually looking for another robot that I had seen in Sam's club and came across this one. After reading the reviews and watching the video I put the I sobot in my cart to be saved for later. I was hesitant to purchase such an expensive toy that I thought might easily be broken by my rambunctious 8 yr old. I also didn't know if it would be easy enough for him to use since it was recommended for 10 yrs old and up. This robot turned out to be the hit of ...more [2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-06 Summary: I love robots ... I am very happy with this product. I am an electrical engineer and a gadget freak (I have several robots in my house). This little guy is phenomenal. I have seen other humanoid robots, but this one is extremely sophisticated and a blast to watch. You will laugh yourself silly at some of its antics (if you are already silly, then you're in real trouble). Well worth the cost and Amazon has the best price I have found. Definitely lives up to the hype. Buy one, you won't be disappointed. ...more [3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-10 Summary: Impressively advanced, tiny Robot with a lot of replay-ability ...

I found the kit to be very well made. The fit of all the components were excellent with the exception of the head attachment which only required a bit of work with a hobby knife and the less than sticky servo mounting tape used to attach the IR sensor to the head. The Robonova operated right away after assembly with out any hookup to a PC. However the zero settings all needed to be reset to allow the robot to walk without toppling. So, to get it right, a PC hookup will be required. The manual leaves a lot to be desired. ...more [2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-01-06 Summary: Robonova kit ... I purchased the kit in November 2007. I was at first unhappy about lack of warranty information, and the manual is black and white, and some areas were confusing. The part about connecting the servos to the controller board were vague, and in actuality the hookup was different than I was lead to believe. There is ,however, a lot of support for the Robonova on various robotics websites and forums. The manual said assembly was 6-8 hours with only a screw driver. It took me about 18 hours with screwdriver (magnetic!!), ...more [3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-09-12 Summary: Robonova 1 Humanoid Robot Kit. A must have item! ...
