Helping people Build and program robots that do what we want
LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT - pick up a half price bargain today at DSE
LEGO MINDSTORMS, posted: 14-AUG-2007 15:15
Hi everyone,
I live in Auckland, NZ and I work for a software company in the banking sector. For entertainment, I am into robotics in a big way - My children and I spend a lot of our spare time designing and building robots with LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT.
I am also one of the 30 people from around the world selected by LEGO as an MCP (MINDSTORMS Community Partner). As a LEGO MINDSTORMS MCP, I have direct link to LEGO MINDSTORMS team in USA and Denmark and have access to exclusive information on LEGO robotics that I love to share with the Geekzone users from time to time. And if you have any technical queries on programming the NXT or getting the MINDSTORMS robot to do what you want it to do I might be able to help. I can also help you with linking up the NXT to all sorts of cool sensors and hardware including Windows Mobile via Blue tooth.
What is LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT?
You can find out from the official LEGO MINDSTORMS web site.
Where can I get one?
You can buy one at your favourite toy store that sells TECHNIC and MINDSTORMS stuff. This include:
- Dick Smiths www.dse.co.nz
- IQToys www.iqtoys.co.nz
- Toys 'R' fun www.toysrfun.co.nz
However, if you want a bargain (just for today), the best place to get one is from Dicksmiths Electronics - as they are having a sale. I understand the specials ends today. Ring your local Dicksmiths or visit the Dick Smiths MINDSTORMS page. At the time I posted this, they still had a few left in few of their stores.Remember the sale ends today!! Good luck!!!
If you missed out on the above offer - you can always get it from my amazon.com store

The idiots at the local store said all the specials ended on sunday when I was in there looking at the Macs. I was going to buy a PSP for Emulators, a Robosapien and some Mindstorms stuff and get piles of those 14c photo's printed.
Of course I had stupidly left my EFTPOS card at home, How we totally rely on technology lesson comes to mind. Oh well, maybe next time.

Hey Tim
Aside from DSE, where locally can I buy mindstorms / technics from? I've looked at your amazon store - are the prices in USD / shipping etc from the states?
cheers
