It’s alive!!

You drag and drop. You transfer via USB cable. You build with LEGOs. You integrate the two. And now you have a ferocious looking crocogator which guards your room. It waits and watches for movement, and when it detects it, the crocogator attacks! Then you rebuild and reprogram. Now you have a machine that sorts colored balls. When it finds the red one (with its color sensor), it knows to throw it away. Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 is the coolest LEGO set we’ve ever had the privilege to play with.

The sky’s the limit with Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0. The software will not only help you program these robots, but also offer you challenges to learn more about how to program them. Then you can build the ultimate RoboWarriorSupremo. It can “see” with its ultrasonic sensors, walk with its servos, walk carefully with its touch sensors, and pick up only the color you tell it to with its color sensor. There aren’t enough words to write how cool the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 really is, because the proof is in the building. Come on, Dr. Frankenstein, time to bring your next creation to life!

A colorful alternative to following the herd

So, there’s this mp3 player that thinks it’s so cool. It’s the popular kid on the block, the one everyone has or wants. It’s sleek, it’s shiny, it’s modern. A new version of it comes out right after you’ve ponied up the cash for one. BREAK FREE, FRIENDS! Be an individual, not a sheep. Don’t follow the herd. You want to make a statement with your mp3 player, and that statement isn’t “I’m just like everyone else” or “I wish I had waited for the newest version.” You want the ultimate in portable music devices – the LEGO MP3 Player. That’s right, who needs a sleek, shiny modern mp3 player when you can have the delightful colorful rectangles of the toy you’ve loved since you were a kid?

Not only does the LEGO mp3 player have all the features of a standard mp3 player, it’s made out of LEGO blocks and can be integrated into your existing LEGO designs. Docking station, smocking station. Just dock your mp3 player to the top of the existing LEGO creations on your desk, put in your earbuds, and rock out while you slave away at your TPS reports. Or give it to your favorite geeky child and teach them that it’s baaaaaad to be sheeple. Be the envy of all those around you when you pull this “toy” out of your pocket and show the world what it means to rock out with your blocks out.
