Wow! Only 3 sensors this time. Although the “eyes” count as 3 in and of itself I guess
. I love the cool square-ish look of everything 
Yeah, it’s strange how the craze used to be with smooth, rounded corners, but now it’s stylish, boxy squares. One other example of this is the new button styles in WordPress 3.5
I think there are 2 touch, and don’t forget the motors double as rotation sensors.
No, there is one Touch sensor in the retail set (home edition).
It’s very cool. I wanna buy it
Gotta buy It
Are the cables going to be the same so I can use it w/ my 2.0? Please reply.
They look the same.
Good.
It would seem like a waste of the $$ spent on the 2.0
They are the same, so you can connect your NXT sensors and motors to your EV3 brick.
i’m getting a set for my birthday and i think they need battaries
i think the cables are the same and i don’t have nxt,nxt2.0 or ev3 yet
Is it true, that it will be able to control 4 motors??
Yes!
it is possible to synthesize technic motors in such a way so that nxt 2.0 can comprehand it. i wonder if it works with the new 3.0. with four motor ports, full functional, omnidrive vehicles are possible. more advances four wheel dirve will also be possible. quradropods are possible.this is evolution. hopefully motor power is not sacrificed for 4 ports. battery consumption should be quite high.
Im not sure witch to pick. This or the 4×4 crawler? I know that this is $350 and the crawler is $200…
I’d go for the EV3 set – imagine how many cool robots you can build with it
Still got a few more months to save up.
The crawler is a waste of money IMHO (I have built and used it). EV3 is much more valuable per dollar
It looks on finished
