NXT Programming
Intuitive User Interface The LEGO MINDSTORMS Education NXT software has a very intuitive user interface that enables both students and teachers to easily navigate around the programming environment. From the opening page of the software, two animated guides, “Getting Started” and “Software Overview”, can be accessed. The 41 programming blocks are situated in two different pallets according to the level of complexity. The Common pallet consists of only 7 main programming blocks which makes it very simple to program your robot. Just drag and drop one programming block and your robot is moving. The Complete pallet gives access to all programming blocks and thus opens up for advanced programming functionality.
