Sonic Vision
" Very much like a bat, the Ultrasonic Sensor uses a unique way to sense objects in the way. This is the best addition of Mindstorms yet, as it is one of the most frequently used.

Convert to RCX
" This is one of the most useful tools for a Mindstorms user to have. With old RCX plugs, legacy sensors and motors can now connect to the NXT. Not only that, but RCX programming bricks can connect with newer Mindstorms NXT sensors and motors.

This project guide is a thorough course in building and programming powerful LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots using the versatile programming language Java. Instruction ranges from basic to sophisticated, providing plenty of cross-education in robotics, mechanical engineering, and Java programming. Example robots include a chess-playing arm, a navigating robot that can map a room within a few inches, and a telepresence robot that can be controlled through the Internet. Includes discussions of powerful NXT add-ons such as the compass sensor, camera, and Bluetooth GPS.524 pages.Written by Brian Bagnall.

Look Ma-No Wires!
" This Bluetooth Dongle is a must have for any Lego Mindstorms NXT user simply because the wired cable that came with the kit is limited and messy. Now, with this device, you won't need to plug in or out any cables.

LEGO Shop: TECHNIC: Motorized Bulldozer (8275)
100% pure power – it’s the ultimate LEGO TECHNIC creation! With its immense size and remote-controlled Power Functions, this giant yellow machine is the king of the construction site. Set it in motion at the push of a button and send it to do your bidding. Working pistons, turning treads, and other details that move and function just like the real thing!
Raise and lower the front blade and the ripper on the back using the remote control!
Use the remote control to drive and steer the Bulldozer!
Bulldozer measures 18" (46 cm) long and 7" (18 cm) high!
Includes remote control, 2 receivers, 2 motors, 2 XL motors and a battery box!
Requires 6 AA (1.5V) and 3 AAA (1.5V) batteries, not included.

LEGO MINDSTORMS - Accelerometer Sensor for MINDSTORMS NXT
Using the NXT Brick (sold separately), the Accelerometer Sensor lets your LEGO MINDSTORMS creation know which way is up and when your robot tilts left or right, up or down, or side to side. This three axis accelerometer sensor also measures acceleration so you can measure g forces just like jet fighter pilots and astronauts. Does not include connector cable. This is the individual component, and does not include the NXT Intelligent Brick, software or any accessories. It requires the complete LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT set (#8527 or #8547) for use.

Acceleration Time
" As a Lego Mindstorms NXT-G programmer, I would suggest purchasing this sensor if you plan to use it to program your robot to sense the acceleration or tilt in three dimensional axes x, y, and z. Although it is hard to use the values of the rate of acceleration, if you put enough time into it your robot will perform better than it did without the sensor.
