Rodeown Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I just ordered myself a mindstorms nxt2 set, I told myself i would buy it when it came below £200 so I had to buy it when i saw it at £180.99 yesterday, is this a good price or not? it seems okay cause the computer brick and motors come to more than that alone on the uk lego site. And what should i do with the set when i get it, what should i make first to learn how to use the robotics system? Quote
