Robotics with RCX

Robotics class offers kids a rich learning environment. In this class kids learn to build robots using LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Invention System 2.0. With gears, pulleys, beams, bricks, axels, and other building elements, kids learn to create mechanical masterpieces. When kids add sensors, motors, and a Robotic Command Explorer (RCX), their masterpiece responds to their commands and its environment. There are limitless possibilities to building and programming using the LEGO Mindstorms Invention system. Please note: The robotics sets are for classroom use only.
