I had no idea you could use the NXT sound sensor to recognize some words! That's truly epic, I will try to dig out my old NXT and try that sometime! Excellent job on the video!
I’m really tempted to get an NXT 2.0 set even though I have an EV3, just because it has such a “nostalgic” design (which might be from seeing it in the back of old LEGO magazines as a kid)
The design really didn't age at all, while EV3 already looks... "old" IMO. Nostalgia can be in there too, cause most of the cool designs I've ever seen were made with NXT
I had a 2.0 as a kid, amazing kit. Also much like the RCS i feel it fit the look of the accompanying technic parts of its era really well, designwise. I also remember how NXT dominated in that early lego RU-vid golden age before you needed a degree to make a successful video.
After studying Electrical Engineering for 3 Years, i now see how much more Lego could have done with the hardware, but didn't. Here are some things: -Only 4 sensor ports really limited capabilities -wasting a whole sensor port on a single button -the color sensor not beeing included in the first nxt set -making even the simple sensors huge, just so they all look the same -so few, but really weirdly placed mounting points on the motors and the main brick -only having the 4 buttons on the main brick -inflexible, flat rj45 cables And on a side note: I find the included technic parts pretty weird. They could have put much more universal pars in there
Multiplexers were available from third party suppliers. I agree with the huge, odd, sized motors and sensors, which didn't make sense at all! The RCX button sensors were much smaller and nicer. And they can be used with an adapter cable.
I once went to a robotics camp as a kid where we used nxt. We had a battlebots one where i made a robot that won because it had a flipper arm that could flip robots. Its first test it was a bit too big and it didnt work but the second time it went all the way to the top
When I was in the 6th grade, we had a club about Lego Mindstorms and competed in a contest about it, I was the programmer of the team and it was very fun designing our segregation robot.
For the new lego space shuttle coming out you should make a video of how to moterisze the space shuttle and if you do it can you make it as cheap as possible so I could motorized because power up is a bit expensive you now
@@Unbrickme Fascinating! I remember during the early years of the NXT, it was said in some places to be too "coarse grained" for that. So to see that someone got it to work for that anyway is pretty neat!
The robots and selection of pieces is quite different. NXT 1.0 came with a light sensor and sound sensor. NXT 2.0 came with two touch sensors (replacing the sound sensor) and the color sensor replaced the light sensor (new color sensor had a light sensor mode too)
What a coincidence! This video about NXT being the golden age was apparently uploaded at almost the exact same time as this one, which considers the EV3 to be the golden age: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oF06kRCX8-c.html
If the LEGO Mindstorms NXT is a golden age, then LEGO Mindstorms NXT should be not retired. Too sad that everybody likes EV3 than NXT. I like NXT. LEGO Mindstorms is a legendary gold LEGO Robotics.
Well, I think the main advantages of EV3 over NXT have something to do with the additions of hardwire daisy-chaining and expandable storage. You can't really do those things with the NXT.
@@hydroworld-soontobemigrate6160 True, the EV3 was technologically more advanced. But I still think that the NXT had a greater impact on the world of Lego Mindstorms. It's much more iconic than the EV3
@@Unbrickme Oh. That means there is only spike prime generation. And nothing else. I wonder what is the next generation of LEGO Mindstorms in the future?
Nxt is cool, but in 2023 the bricks are outdated and pretty much unusable unless you use an older pc, the bricks have issues with newer laptops and they will end up not being able to boot after programming them with the new pc's. The issue is with the usb drivers they use, they use 2 of them which compatibly is the main issue.
