An NXT User's Book
" The book for any beginner Lego Mindstorms NXT user. While it does not cover every technique and tip known about Lego Mindstorms engineering and programming, it gives information on every topic needed for any Lego Mindstorms NXT user to become inspired or filled with a vast knowledge.

Press Me
" The Mindstorms NXT Touch Sensor is a sensor that I prefer is one of the most useful sensor out of all. It gives ample programming uses as well as being generally needed in a lot of robots.

LEGO MINDSTORMS - Compass Sensor for MINDSTORMS NXT
Using the NXT Brick (sold separately), the Compass Sensor is able to measure the earth's magnetic field and calculates a magnetic heading to tell which direction your robot is facing. The compass has a built-in calibration to help reduce magnetic interference from other sources. Includes 1 Compass Sensor. 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.

A Good Sensor
" While many Mindstorms NXT sensors are either useful or not necessary in any programming, I think this sensor is a very needed sensor in any Mindstorms NXT collection, as you can use the readings of direction in many ways.
