Err, there are some "grown-ups" using Mindstorms - check out the Christchurch Robotics Society: ChchRobotics mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rout.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/chchrobotics In my opinion it is an expensive toy, but worth it if you are no good with a soldering iron. The provided programming environment is quite poor, and I would recommend replacing it with NQC (Not-quite C) or one of the others (Google is your friend). For a Christchurch-flavoured opinion check out the list archives, or subscribe and ask your question there. Andy
