IMO the education sets are superior to the retail versions because of the fact you got more electronics, a rechargeable battery and a plastic box with sorting trays.
Except for 51515, which outclasses them all, and its a real shame it was not available through education channels. We had to go through hoops to get these as school with the consumer 5 piece limit...
Well, the Boost Move Hub does have two external ports, one for the color/distance sensor and the other for the Interactive motor. It's basically exactly like the Powered UP Version of the old Power Functions Chasis motor found in the 8183 and 8184 sets (which did not have external ports), except without a return-to-center steering mechanism.
Yeah, I mean I was just saying that both the micro scout and boost hub have internal motors, which is pretty interesting. Boost hub has an extra internal motor and 2 ports
I think 51515 is the alltime winner, the 42100 is a top-5 contender as well, and the 9750 from 1987 (probably before your birth) takes my number 2 spot as it has that early memories and was really beautiful in its simplicity. Why I like 51515 so much? It has multiple programming options and an open bootloader, the plugs are sturdy, the motors are much better with even the simplest having angle feedback, and the brick selection is 100% inviting to design own robots with lots of nice big frames for easy prototyping unlike any set before: it allows the fastests builds of any robot set. Why the 42100 deserves a spot: it is the best bang-for-buck robot set LEGO ever made. It was like only 250€, and you got 7 motors and 2 programmable hubs and OVER 4000 bricks, and it is easily expanded with the current colour, distance and presure sensors.
Great video, thanks for the historical update; I have a question. I have Lego NXT 9797, with the NXT Brick and sensors... If I was to purchase only the NXT3 brick, are the sensors of my NXT backwards compatible? (ultrasonic, sound, color, touch...). Thanks
Any other ways to get power functions for a price close to retail? Wondering cus after they retired the other day I started looking on eBay and bricklink and the prices were insane like a PF XL motor was 40 bucks I was kinda blown away
Since power functions is now retired, unfortunately you can’t get individual components for retail price anymore. But you can get RC stunt racer on bricklink for cheaper than retail for example and you practically get all the components for less than retail or close to retail price
@@yahoo5726 Spike Prime is the education version of LEGO Mindstorms 51515. I think 51515 is better than Spike Prime. In the 51515 set, you get more pieces, fun challenges, it is compatible with game controllers, and it has machine learning.
Im happy to see that you have a sponsore! I totally skipped any form of mindstorms. And now Im not interested at all. Maybe one day, when my son grow up.
Thank you very much! I highly recommend trying out lego robotics. If the robot inventor set is too expensive, you can always buy a sealed NXT set for around $200 or even less sometimes! But, the most affordable lego robotics set is LEGO boost! I highly recommend trying it out
@@Unbrickme Its not about the money, I simply not playing that much with my legos. But thanks for the advice. If one day I will buy a set like this, that will be definitly the latest one.
si quelqun a le courage de me traduir se comentaire merci beaucoup car moi je nait pa les capasiter de le faire je ne sais pa si vous pouviez m'aider a ce sujet mais jais une question esque le lego ev3 vaut encor la peaine dettre acheter ou je devrait acheter le nouveaux jaimerait beaucou construir des veicul et les conduir avec mon telefon jais treize an et jais un budjet autour de 400$ met peut monter si nessaissert deso pour les faute je nais pa beaucoup de temp (: le lego ev3 jais deja utuliser a lecol donc je laime mieux mais esque dans le futur exemple 2 ans je pourait encor lutuliser ou les system seront trop avencer pour lutuliser et aussi esquil yaura une bonne valeur de revente ?
@@Unbrickme My one was definitely the EV3, but after there are more control+ sets being released, i think the spike prime is better for being compatible with those technic sets and it has much more potential.
I Reaallly hated the RCX. I told my parents not to buy it for me and they got it anyway. Some people are not coders, and I wasted days trying to make it do anything useful. To this day the only program I ever got to work was "port C on" so I could use it with the lamp as a flashlight. When the NXT came out, I wound up ordering it because I saw a company's demo on a remote sensor module to use controllers to operate it. That company never released the model and stuck me with a bricked brick until by chance I noticed some glorious person wrote a blutooth app for it, which allowed me to finally build things like this: ruclips.net/video/byeXVMX2csI/видео.html

Incredibly incredible comment
Awesome video! Nice to see that your great work finally got you a sponsor!
Thank you very much

Wait a second, what about the LEGO Spybotics Sets? I'd say those fall under the robotics category as well. What are your thoughts on those?
Those are very cool! They’re just not branded under the mindstorms theme
i do think that the most impressive lego mindstorm is the nxt 2.0 set.
Great video, thanks for the historical update; I have a question. I have Lego NXT 9797, with the NXT Brick and sensors... If I was to purchase only the NXT3 brick, are the sensors of my NXT backwards compatible? (ultrasonic, sound, color, touch...). Thanks
If you’re referring to the EV3, then yes all NXT motors and sensors are perfectly compatible with the EV3
You miss that another set that includes that video camera was the LEGO studios Set back in early 2000

I like LEGO Mindstorms NXT and LEGO Mindsorms Robot Inventor
me too!
I think the spike prime is the best

Are you Dutch? Many of the manuals you’re showing are from here, but your accent doesn’t sound Dutch to me.
Nice vid keep up the awesome work
Thanks
You said "had" for the Robot Inventor set. Shouldn't you say has, since it is not retired yet?
You’re right
Nxt - nxt 2.0 era was the golden age of lego mindstorms imo
I completely agree! 2.0 is the SAME hardware wise so I just call it the NXT era.
hey unbrickme should i get the 42124 off road buggy or do you have another idea?
what is your budget?
@@Unbrickme 150$
Shivam Talwar yes you should get the off road buggy
hi its allysa

Hi allysa
Can you make more MOCs
Sure, but they take a ton of time to make
Nice video 👍
Thanks
SECOND!
Ok
Congratulations
Indeed
What’s your favorite lego mindstorms sets?
@@Unbrickme My one was definitely the EV3, but after there are more control+ sets being released, i think the spike prime is better for being compatible with those technic sets and it has much more potential.
Nice! My favorite is the NXT! Both NXT 1.0 and 2.0 sets are epic!
@@Unbrickme i don't have any yet, but i would pick spike prime because it's compatible with powered up
