Review

The Lego Mindstorms Discovery Set is a Lego robot. The kit includes step-by-step guide to build three different robots, but you can build anything you want. It has a built-in computer allows you to program it over 3,000 ways just by pressing a few buttons.

Pros

The good thing about this kit is that you can build anything you want. Anyone from beginners to geniuses will have something to do.

Cons

The not so good things are that some of the pieces are very small and hard to put together.  


Educational value

What did it teach?

The Lego Mindstorms Discovery Kit taught me how to program things, and helped my building skills.

"My" Advice

I like it because it's exactly what I wanted it to be, as it helped me through programming stages.
