Reading the Mindstorms book made me want the Lego Logo kit for my kids. The things in the book seemed like mostly basic Lego constructions with a bit of automation added, which seems more accessible than the Technic based set, which requires more planning.
I may just bite the bullet and get the Mindstorms set for myself this Christmas.
- sologoub 12y agoI don't think they sell the Lego Logo kit. I used it in early 90s :)
- homarp 12y agoLego Mindstorms (the current set EV3) has a graphical language (cf http://www.education.rec.ri.cmu.edu/content/lego/ev3/preview/ http://www.education.rec.ri.cmu.edu/content/lego/ev3/preview... ) with turtle-ish capability. There are also alternative firmwares (e.g. http://www.ev3dev.org/ http://www.ev3dev.org/ ) which let you use more or less the language you want, but you loose the IDE integration and the easy setup. And the original firmware is open-source too: https://github.com/mindboards/ev3sources https://github.com/mindboards/ev3sources
