Once you have tried all the default ones, try modifying your favorite ones to achieve tasks, such as for the tall guy "walk around, searching for a color" or something.

then, try building your own to achieve tasks.

Re: LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Kit I need ideas

Ah yes, it seems like one of the biggest challenges is just deciding what to make.  big_smile

I made a crane once, which I was rather proud of. Sometimes it helps to just look around your room and try to think of something you'd like your robot to interact with, and go from there.

. . . Have the ROBOT build a block pyramid. (Not out of LEGO, but like baby building blocks or something it can grab easier than LEGO)
Is what I meant.
