this is the newer LEGO mindstorms set that's out:

If you read through it it is actually pretty cool I have the older one that used serial IR for data transfer and wasn't Mac compatible out of the box without a driver for it and no bluetooth from when I was 10 and it still works, but it isn't as good as this one so I might get one since I do enjoy my old set still (I made a cat attacker to play with my cats) and this has more function to it. _________________ "You must control your future by taking command of your present, and fixing and learning from your past."

they don't go into great detail, but they have new sensors with it and a better microproccessor than before. I also got a spybot because I got it for a crazy deal ($45 instead of $70 and new) down at LEGO imagination Florida, but you need a serial port for those so that is a pain since I need a USB to serial adapter, all the sensors and motors are built into one unit with three IR sensors for a remote to control it so it is nice. I will get one though and check it out since I like to build them, but I want more motors for the RCX 2.0 currently (built an elevator that was 3ft. tall for lego people using 2 motors). _________________ "You must control your future by taking command of your present, and fixing and learning from your past."
