LEGO MINDSTORMS Droid Developer Kit
© 1999 LEGO MINDSTORMS
This package offers a realistic introduction to programming and unlike last year's kit works independently of a computer. The brain of this set contains a less powerful (than the Robotics Discovery Set) but still amazing Micro-Scout processor that comes with 600 LEGO pieces for kids to make characters from the Star Wars Episode 1 movie. This is the smallest LEGO microcomputer, and it comes with a built in light sensor, motor and seven programmable behaviors. The instructions are provided in three difficulty levels, the easiest making it possible for most kids to make their first working droid in less than an hour!
