Nieuwe LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 komt er aan! |
Billund (Denemarken) - Lego heeft aangekondigd dat ze hun bestaande Mindstorms NXT set, drie jaar na het verschijnen van de NXT, gaan vervangen door de NXT 2.0 versie. Waarschijnlijk
zal de nieuwe set de 400.000
Mindstorms enthusiasten over de hele wereld niet echt bedienen. De nieuwe set,
genaamd Mindstorms NXT 2.0, focust zich op jongens tussen de 10 en 14 jaar oud,
en moet hen een robot beleving geven. Opties:

LEGO launches new Mindstorms NXT 2.0 |
Billund
(Denmark) - Lego has announced it's updating its Lego Mindstorms set this
year, 3 years after the last version graced robot clubs around the world. Perhaps shunning the estimated 400,000 Mindstorm enthusiasts around the globe, the new kit, labelled Mindstorms NXT 2.0, will focus on offering 10 to 14-year-old boys a good robot experience rather than trying to appeal to the hardcore fans that use the kit. That move however hasn't stopped the company bundling in a stack of new features for the £200 price tag. New to this year's release is a colour sensor that can be used to let the robot you build determine colours before acting on that information along with the ability to control it via a PC or Mac with the accompanying software. With Bluetooth still present, users will get the chance to build four new models from the 619 piece set; a new version of the robot - Alpha Rex, Robocator - a fierce looking crocodile, Shooter bot - a robot that shoots balls, and Colour sorter - yes a robot that sorts coloured balls. Other new features include the inclusion of ten robot instructions from the software rather than two as in the previous model.
