I loved my Lego Mindstorms set as a kid, it's very open ended and easy to use, even moreso now. The programming is simple but powerful and the building system is obviously second to none.

Yes, yes, yes to Lego Mindstorms. It was the bridge from make believe play to the real world. It was real enough to be a challenge but not so real that I could not grasp it.

Did you always use the block based programming language or ever use Lejos?
