QUOTE(netmatrix @ Jan 10 2021, 01:10 PM) You should go to youtube and look at robotics for beginners. Or basic robotics. Also beginner robotic coding/ programming. Look and understand what is needed. Then plan how you wanna start. With Mindstorms you pay for convenience. Good pointAnything you do from scratch will be hard. But the satisfaction is much more higher. Bragging rights is higher too. |

i was a part time lego instructor. i taught kids age range from 5 to 11 last time.
1. depends on kids really. if just code, build and run.. can last more than that. if day day your kids pickup and throw, and break the parts.... well... tough luck mate. the oldest set that we had last time more than 5 years. 2. this one i donno. 3. not sure. but i am sure my boss can order a set for you. 4. why not buy later? maybe there would be new model coming out with new function later. 5. as in the real coding? heck no. but it teaches kid creativity, and logical thinking. which i think, playing chess would produce the same result. heck even diy arduino kits is better, cheaper and more versatile.

I think these toys r educational but when u have to pay > 1k, not sure if its worthwhile..1. depends on kids really. if just code, build and run.. can last more than that. if day day your kids pickup and throw, and break the parts.... well... tough luck mate. the oldest set that we had last time more than 5 years. 2. this one i donno. 3. not sure. but i am sure my boss can order a set for you. 4. why not buy later? maybe there would be new model coming out with new function later. 5. as in the real coding? heck no. but it teaches kid creativity, and logical thinking. which i think, playing chess would produce the same result. heck even diy arduino kits is better, cheaper and more versatile. Curios how much guys charge per hour ? Yeah the lego can last 5 years but can the motor and program last that long ? |

Yeah the lego can last 5 years but can the motor and program last that long ? its very simple programming. i dont even consider it programming though. and like i have said, arduino kit is a better option if really want a programming toys. last time, i remember its few thousand to send kid to classes. but i think its for whole year. almost similar to gym fees i recall. but you dont the set. you come to our training centre. class for 2 hours per session.

QUOTE(Maria Takagi @ Jan 10 2021, 10:52 AM) I want to add new toy to my Man Cave #1. Motor last around half year - 1 year for our use case. Also in future teach my kid about coding Anyone here expert in Lego Mindstorms ? My question is this: 1) How long these toys can last before rosak ? especially the motors ? 3 years ? 5 years ? 2) Can I order separate spare parts if one part of my robot rosak via Lego ? 3) Where to buy ? I notice Lego shops like not offer this ? order online ? 4) My kid only < 5 years old, I want to wait another 3 more years, before I play with the robot than teach him how to play with it. Can the toy last another 3-5 years ? 5) Is it useful for kids to learn coding ? #2. Can but it take long time to get once order yet expensive cus Lego is branded #3. Shopee. etc #4. Lego block is still fine, motor hard to say. If your place is located in Kepong or Semenyih, you may come visit Advaspire Robotics Academy, our center have these Lego robots for teaching purpose, so you no need spend big or feel burden in preparation. #5. It help train on logical thinking and problem solving. why not. if near us, request for free trial to see if your kids like it or not la. honestly when I saw the students' passionate and their creative-built robots, it's really no regret to create this learning space for them. |
