LEGO Unveils MINDSTORMS NXT

LEGO Group today announces LEGO® MINDSTORMS™ NXT, a new system that redefines the consumer robotics category the company created in 1998.

The heart of the new system is the NXT brick, an autonomous 32-bit LEGO microprocessor that can be programmed using a PC.
After building their robots, users create a program within easy-to-use yet feature-rich software, powered by LabVIEW from National Instruments.
Downloading programs to an invention is easy using wireless Bluetooth or USB.

NXT includes new sensors for sound, sonar and touch.

LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT will be available in August 2006 and will have a suggested retail price of $249.99 (USD) and $ 379.99 (CAD).
