Ogre Destructo-Tank Features New Black NXT Block
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 3 of March , 2009 at 12:22 am
LEGO Mindstorms have been around since 1998. That’s 10 years, and it makes me feel old. To celebrate, LEGO is releasing a limited edition black NXT block:
Why a Black NXT? Because it is cool! And looking around in the MINDSTORMS community we noticed that a Black NXT was high on the wish list among users. Also, talking to the MINDSTORMS Community Partners, the closed web forum of adult fans collaborating with the LEGO MINDSTORMS development team, it was very well received and suggested as a must-have!
Once you have bought and received your new Black NXT you will get access to additional materials like a special-made program for the Black NXT, a personal certificate of ownership, wallpapers, building instructions for special models.
The black NXT brick costs $170, which is a significant chunk of the $250 cost of the entire kit. But it magically gives you the ability to make totally awesome robots, like this tank:
Only 1998 black NXT bricks will be produced, so now’s the time to get one if you want one. They’re available on Amazon.
