    Microsoft Robotics Studio

    The MS Robotics stuff supports the new Mindstorms NXT. Thus, you can write C# code on PC which talks to your robot via Bluetooth. Being a programmer is great sometimes.

    Quoted: Once you have successfully configured your NXT to communicate with your PC using Bluetooth, to run the code included in the tutorials with your NXT hardware, you should just need to turn on the NXT's power and follow the instructions in the tutorials for using Microsoft Robotics Studio with your hardware. The tutorials require a special configuration file that describes the way you have sensors and motors connected to the NXT brick. For further information about this file see the tutorial instructions.

    Lego Mindstorms NXT : Page 1

    This looks like way too much fun ...

    Quoted: Steve's love for the new Mindstorms NXT is infectious enough that we had to take a look at the new system, so we hauled a system into the lab for inspection. Thirty minutes later, surrounded by a scatter of bricks and instruction booklets, a baby ArsBot rolled off the assembly line and into our hearts. We were hooked.
