                                        How does MINDSTORMS® work?

                                        Contrary to popular belief, LEGO® MINDSTORMS is not powered by magic… Instead, there are dozens of powerful motors, sensors, lights, bricks – plus a rechargeable battery and speaker – that bring the robots to life. You’ll learn all about them on this page!

                                        What’s in the box?

                                        Here’s a quick run-down of some of the main robo-elements you’ll find in our MINDSTORMS set…
