Any problems with Mindstorms kit?
Submitted by cmarkum on Mon, 11/02/2009 - 11:35
We have just been notified that the new LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 does not contain all of the LEGO parts that the old kit did and so that we are not providing enough extra pieces in our package. Has anyone else who is new to the group purchased the 2.0 version and needs these parts? Please let us know what we can do to help you!

Here's what we were missing...
We bought the NXT 2.0 kit, and purchased the following separately from Toy Brick Brigade:
(7) Beam, 15 hole*
(2) Axle, length 8
(4) Axle, length 10*
(1) Brick, 2x2
(6) Gear, 8 tooth*
There were two length 15 beams in the NXT 2.0, so we had to buy more.
The NXT 2.0 only came with 1 axle of length 12, and none of length 10 or 11, so ordering those was a must. You could substitute length 9 axles for the length 8 axles.
The 2x2 brick could be substituted with a 2x4.
The smallest gears supplied with the NXT 2.0 are completely different, I think they have 12 teeth, and you only get two of them.
The critical parts we were missing are marked with an asterisk.
