Book Reviews of Mindstorms Robotics Invention System 2.0
Book Review: Won't work
Summary: 1 Stars
We've had this product for a while and never could get it to work. We've placed numerous calls to Lego and were told it DOES NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS XP, so went to a machine with Windows 98. Still doesn't work on Windows 98, now I need to mail back parts and get new parts. This has been a 3 week process of upgrades, changes, being told it won't work by various people, etc. ...The 'tech support' line that they provide doesn't provide live help unless you figure out how to get out of their menu system. Otherwise they provide recordings and then say 'goodbye'. It's frustrating listening to a child's recorded instructions over and over again, only to end up back where you started.
Book Review: Incompatible with Windows XP
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought Robotics Mindstorm (Robotics Invention System 2.0) for Christmas 2004. Unfortunately did not study customer reviews thoroughly enough to prevent the disappointment that the toy is not compatible with Windows XP. It might work on some computers with a different chipset, but not on ours. It freezes during installation and therefore the fun drops to zero. Have not found a fix at the internet yet. You need to have an old Windows 98 or ME computer with a Pentium 2 running at 233 Mhz. An archaic system for kids interested in technology such as Robotics!
Really very disappointing.
Book Review: Great Product, but IR Tower has problems w/certain computer
Summary: 1 Stars
Great Product - but like another reviewer, I had the same issues with the IR Tower and XP. Non of the Lego Support Documents were of much use, but using an older PC with Windows 98 did the trick.Book Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
Nowhere in the product description does it say thata PC with USB is required for this toy. If you are
buying for a child with a Macintosh, you will be
disappointed too. Unusable.
