 +====== History of Mindstorms ======
 +
 +===== Evolution of LEGO kits =====
 +
 +==== LEGO Technic ====
 +
 +The LEGO Technic kit included:
 +  * mechanical elements,
 +  * pneumatic elements,
 +  * electrical motors.
 +
 +The kit did not include a microcontroller.

 +
 +
 +==== Robotic Invention System ====
 +
 +RIS versions:
 +  * 1998r.: RIS 1.0,
 +  * 1999r.: RIS 1.5,
 +  * 2001r.: RIS 2.0.
 +
 +The most important change: RCX '​brick',​ which contains programmable microcontroller Renesas H8/300.
 +Furthermore introduced:
 +  * possibility of communication between RCXs,
 +  * sensors (e.g. of color and touch),
 +  * additional electronical equipment, e.g. speakers,
 +  * about 700 elements.

 +
 +
 +==== Mindstorms NXT ====
 +
 +In mid 2006 Mindstorms NXT replaced Robotic Invention Systems. ​
 +
 +The kit include: ​
 +
 +  * more sensors,
 +  * about 500 elements (such as: wheels, bars, adapters, hubs, etc.),
 +  * motors with sensor of position and tachometer,
 +  * touch sensor, sound sensor, color sensor, ultrasonic sensor.
 +
 +Mindstorms NXT supports a lot of programming languages.

 +==== Other LEGO kits ====
 +
 +{{:​pl:​mindstorms:​mindstorms:​bricks.jpg|:​pl:​mindstorms:​mindstorms:​bricks.jpg}}
 +
 +=== Lego Cybermaster ===
 +  * communication RF,
 +  * Passive sensors limitations,​
 +  * no possibility of software development.

 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +=== Codepilot ===
 +  * only basic elements,
 +  * programing through switching to learn-mode and using light sensor to get over coded cammands.
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +=== Scout ===
 +  * poor possibilities of programming,​
 +  * RCX communication.
 +
 +
 +
 +=== Micro Scout ===
 +  * limited Scout version,
 +  * communication with: Scout, Spybotics, RCX by VLL.

 +
 +
 +=== Spybotics ===
 +  * toy-version of Cybermaster,​
 +  * communication with other Spybotics and with RCX.
