As a matter of fact, maybe. There's a center that teaches NXT Robotics programming for kids called "The Little Engineer" and is run by Rana Shmaitilli.

A cool tutorial on how differential gears work
Xterm ! NO ! Get an arduino and learn some real robotics/electronics.

Actually, he can program the Lego Mindstorm with ROBOTC (it's C-based and unlike NXT, gives you a broader choice of commands to manipulate the robot). Furthermore, the Lego Mindstorm is an excellent way to get baby Raúl interested in programming (of course when he's 7 or 8) and it is much easier to start with NXT blocks then move to ROBOTC. In the end, Raúl just might like programming so much that he'll start looking for another language to learn: this is where Arduino comes in.J4D wroteXterm ! NO !

Bottom line: Yes, Lego Mindstorm is an excellent choice.
It is an excellent choice for retards who just want to make something move without bothering a brain cell ! If you want to program it using C just jump over to Arduino from the start. Their is no point in getting lego mindstormes if have your mind set previously at programming it using C.
Lego Mindstorms = Toy
Arduino = very broad hobby robotics. and with your programming skills ya Xterm, you will be doing wonders in no time. Heck I'd make you an Arduino just so you dont buy the stupid mindstorms ! I've got a batch coming out of the oven soon.

Oy I'm preparing for my little kid!
I care not for electronics!

I'm extremely interested!mesa177 wroteAs a matter of fact, maybe. There's a center that teaches NXT Robotics programming for kids called "The Little Engineer" and is run by Rana Shmaitilli.

Too Bad !
@J4D, I want an Arduino board! When will they get out of the oven? :P
No you don't! Stick to one thing only (programming!!). Stick to ASP.NET MVC!AymanFarhat wrote@J4D, I want an Arduino board! When will they get out of the oven? :P
I am going to program that thing :P Btw, it has been a week since I last touched an MVC video or opened VS :P Php FTW!Kassem wroteNo you don't! Stick to one thing only (programming!!). Stick to ASP.NET MVC!AymanFarhat wrote@J4D, I want an Arduino board! When will they get out of the oven? :P

atta boy ayman :) i thought you went to the other side, your mom has been worried sick :P
where can i find an arduino in lebanon? i really need oneJ4D wroteGet an arduino and learn some real robotics/electronics.
PM me, we can coordinate. I produce an Arduino clone here in lebanon.
