This is the 1999 released Lego product that precedes the LEGO Mindstorms NXT. If you are looking for a discontinued collectible, this product may be for you. But otherwise this product pales in comparison to its successor, LEGO Mindstorms NXT.The brain of this set is called Micro-Scout, but it is much more limited in functionality than the latest version 'NXT.' Micro-scout only has one light sensor and one motor, while 'NXT' has 3 motors and 4 replaceable sensors.

The 'Micro Scout' microcomputer controller which is the heart of this kit is basically a combined light sensor & motor unit, which can't be programmed so you only have the seven built-in programs to play with. Not particulary challenging, even for the youngest builders.I would think that you also need the 'LEGO MindStorms Robotics Discovery' to really make the Droid Developer Kit worthwhile. The 'Scout' microcomputer of the 'Robotics Discovery' kit is programmable and also includes two touch sensor inputs and two motor outputs; making it the ideal heart of a real 'Droid'.Buy both kits and mix'n'match but probably not worth buying this kit by itself.

Lego mind storms products entered a galaxy far, far away with expansion sets based in the star wars movies. The droid developer kit let you make your own rolling R2-D2 and other droids, while 9754 dark side developer kit (2000) had parts and instructions for building a walking Imperial AT-AT, a marching Destroyer Stood and more. Both came with a new Microscout controller with a built in motor and light sensor.
