Anyone into robotics here? Was thinking about picking up

54044&sr=8-1&keywords=mindstorms

to learn some basic concepts. Anyone else into things of this nature and willing to suggest some books/etc?

I have that set OP. Check out the books for the set as well. It will help you a lot.

You can scale up to TETRIX with NXTs as well.

That being said, I would recommend something like Arduino + some other kit/parts instead.

follow this advice. If you really want to be using some premade kit with standard parts, at least go with Vex. A lot more expensive but very high quality.

Look up B.E.A.M. robotics. Learn to build those - easy as fuck, solar powered, and you don't have kits so you feel a lot more accomplished

Yeah I might have done some minor robotics in highschool. I would recommend a Vex kit if you are just starting out, and also maybe a Boe-bot kit if you know a little bit or want to be a little more technical.
