LEGO is a great system. All the parts interconnect no matter what kit you have. With a good imagination, you can build anything with LEGO. This particular robotic system has incredible potential for budding technologists. It has multiple paths of programming, multiple templates of building base robots to expand upon. And a fantastic community of enthusiasts to help! Nothing like it. All aces.

The NXT series in Mindstorms has been a classic for 16 years. I recently bought this item to start building out another kit for a family member.

I love the fact that with Lego Mindstorms you can create all sorts of robots. It's easy to use by young and old, and also that it's not limited to te software and electronic hardware included in the kit (you can make homebrew sensors or use high level languages to program it). It's been programmed by children as young as 8 years old to graduate students. Its price is a little on the expensive side but well worth it since it's a pretty robust embedded system (32 bit microcontoller, servo motors, I2C communication protocol, Bluetooth and so much more top of the line hardware).
The software is really easy to use for the most part. The NXT brick has really good response time, and does NOT lose firmware when the batteries are removed. I love how well the motors work, but they are sort of bulky. The sensors also work good. There is also a nice amount of technic pieces included. Overall, it is a very good set, and well worth the money. I have learned a lot, and now I want a second one.
There is enough technic included in the set to make many different creations, and the electronics can be programmed to do almost anything. Good for creativity.
