LEGO NXT is brilliant! It's the practical combination of two of my favorite childhood things - LEGO and robots. What's even better is the fact that we can actually program them to respond to various stimulants. The sensors look a little clumsy, but very easy to connect. I want one! I will make my own miniture Johnny 5...out of LEGO!

Great segment, Erik and Laura.
