 LEGO
Mindstorms Robotics Invention System 2.0
$189.99
The LEGO MindStorms Robotics Invention System is easy
enough for kids, but powerful enough for high school and
university-level students to make impressive use of it.
Now you can create programmable robots that navigate obstacles,
follow trails, or react to changes in light detected by
its sensors. No programming experience is necessary; LEGO's
intuitive software helps you along the way.
According to LEGO, "A first-time user with basic
PC skills can design, program, and build a simple robot
within one hour."
What's in the Box
The box contains 727 LEGO parts, including the RCX "programmable
brick", an infrared transmitter for sending programs
to your robots, the MindStorms software CD-ROM, a full-color
and beautifully-designed builder's guide, two motors,
two touch sensors, one light sensor, and a large assortment
of LEGO bricks, connectors, wheels, and gears.
 The
RCX Programmable Brick
The heart of the MindStorms kit is the RCX programmable
brick. About the size of two decks of playing cards, the
RCX uses sensors to take input from its environment, process
the data, and signal up to three motors to turn on and
off in forward or reverse at any one of 8 speeds. This
"smart brick" can process over 1000 commands
per second. The RCX uses an 8-bit Hitachi H8/3297 microcontroller
running at 16MHz. It has 16K of ROM, 512 bytes of SRAM
(for firmware) and 32K of external SRAM for your programs.
It features a fully multi-tasking operating system (up
to 10 simultaneous tasks), three eight-bit timers, three
500 mA outputs, and three inputs. The RCX also houses
the battery power.
 Programming
the RCX
Everything about the Robotic Invention System has been
optimized for ease of use. The most amazing example of
this is the RCX code. It is an easy-to-use, yet powerful,
icon-based programming language which is loosely based
on Logo. This visual programming environment allows you
to drag, drop and stack commands and bits of code. This
means there is no program code to write!
You can choose from a long list of commands such as left
and right turns, reverse, sound effects, pauses, sensor
settings, motor speed, or custom-designed functions. With
two clicks of the mouse, you can upload your program to
the RCX, then hit the "run" button and your
creation goes to work.
Each RCX unit can store five programs so one robot can
do multiple things. Programming can be as elaborate or
as simple as you choose.
Your Mission:
The CD-ROM includes a series of "missions" for
basic training on using the RCX and working with RCX code.
Each set of missions centers on a particular action or
set of actions that a robot can perform. The missions
start with just getting the robot to roll across the floor,
but quickly increase in complexity. Ultimately they require
incorporating the sensors and having the robot respond
autonomously to environmental conditions such as a wall
or the edge of a table. The missions are structured to
give hints and tips along the way, and through these construct/program/test
sequences, the user becomes familiar with robotic logic
and design.
What Can You Invent?
What makes MindStorms so elegant is that its simple-to-learn
programming can control robots that perform such complex
functions. Robot construction is like putting together
regular LEGOs, everything snaps together. The instruction
book lays out step-by-step plans for seven robots.
 The
MindStorms system has been used to create alarm devices
that sense when someone passes through a doorway; coin-sorters
that distinguish coins by detecting their diameter, a
candy dispenser that dishes up sweets according to simple
bar codes, and a wandering robot that takes pictures with
an onboard camera. The devices are intelligent enough
to follow paths (via markings on the floor), and move
around obstacles.

Mindstorms Vision Command $59.95
ow you can build robots that see and react with the new
Lego Mindstorms Vision Command!
The system comes with the "Lego Cam", a fully-functioning
PC video camera which can record up to 30 video frames
per second for amazing detail! A built in microphone captures
sound, too. The LEGO Cam includes a USB connection for
easy setup. Program your LEGO Cam to react to what it
sees - it can detect changes in light, motion and even
color.
Your Lego Cam comes equipped with powerful vision recognition
software. When you open up the Command Center, you can
place a number of pre-defined patterns over the camera
view area to divide the screen into different regions.
You can then program each region to detect and react on
its own. You can detect different colors, changes in light,
and movement.
When combined with LEGO's Robotics Invention System,
Vision Command becomes a revolutionary vision sensor smart
enough to be the eyes and brains of your robot.
The Vision Command Constructopedia includes building
instructions that show examples of how to build the LEGO
Cam as part of robots that move, so you can make your
camera watch and follow you, or just go and explore on
its own.
