Bringing Mindstorms Robot To Life
Programming Mindstorm is the real gem in this system. It has a drag-and-drop interface using pre-programmed objects that you pull from a palette and snap to other objects. Each object is configurable. For example, the Mindstorms Robot Sound object brings up a sub-window that allows you to choose between a tone and a list of sound files, set the volume, set duration, and so on. Little Lego bricks between the objects reinforce the idea that building a NXT program is like building a Lego Mindstorm model.

The software is well-designed and very intuitive. Mindstorms NXT challenges from top: Tribot, RoboArm, and Spike.
There comes a genuine thrill from seeing something you've created--even something simple and silly as my first program come to life in a robot. It's akin to seeing yourself on TV for the first time. I played that program a dozen times.
The software contains "challenges," educational which are similar step-by-step instructions for creating and programming more complex models, such as a Mindstorms robotic arm that can "perform simple tasks and react to different colors." Each challenge is divided into smaller tasks with step-by-step building, programming, and testing guides for each task, learning, and educating as you program the Mindstorms Robot.
