| ====== 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. |

| |
| === 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. |
